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.

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
