30+ Craft Kit Ideas For Boys

by

This boys crafts gift guide is all about craft kits that are aimed at boys. I am all for non-gender specific toys, clothing and products BUT I still want my boy to enjoy crafting and if that means finding him craft kits without pink packaging or unicorns and princesses then that is what I will do. Creativity far outweighs my stopping him from crafting. Obviously he has a choice to pick pink boxes and barbie crafts if he wants and he does not. However, his sister doesn’t want pink boxes either and can’t stand painting pink unicorns or little mermaids.

So this is what this list is all about, please do not message me about how everyone can purchase from this list, cause I know they can, you know they can, but this list is for those people who need to have gender-specific packaging. This is a gift guide list for them, because finding creative crafty gifts for boys is really really hard.

You can see all of the top picks that I have hand-selected here at this Gift Guide List. Make sure you check back often as I am adding more and more products as they are recommended to me or become available.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
