How Can You Use Annie’s Kit Club?

If you are interested in picking up a new hobby or learning how to craft but don’t know where to start, Annie’s Kit Club would be perfect for you! They offer multiple levels of crafting, even for the most basic beginner. They ship you the products you need, this avoids choosing the wrong materials at the store or having to research what you will need. Their deliveries, instructions, and tutorial videos make it simple to follow along with a little bit of hand holding!

 

If you already know how to craft, but have trouble completing them and staying on track, Annie’s Kit Club may also be a great option for you! The kit gets delivered in increments, therefore you can completely finish one step at a time. This schedule type process helps users keep on track with goals and accomplish small portions at a time, to ensure the project reaches completion!

Where Can You Use Annie’s Kit Club?

Annie’s Kit Club is shipped directly to your home. Many of the crafts take up a significant amount of space, such as Afghans and Quilts. For this reason, shipping the kit to your home address and working on it in your own space is likely the most logical place to use these products.

 

On the other hand, if you enjoy doing crafts with family, friends, or a club, you could get Annie’s Kit Club shipped to your home and then go to a friend’s home or have guests over to work on your projects together. This could be a great bonding experience!

Who’s This For?

Annie’s Kit Club is a great option for any crafter who is looking to add more structure to their hobbies. Whether you do not want to research crafts and search at the store for materials, want to follow along in incremental steps to ensure you finish your project, or if you simply need some help; Annie’s Kit Club may be a great place to start!

 

Some people who may benefit from Annie’s Kit Club include:

  • The beginner crafter who wants to follow instructions and tutorials
  • The intermediate crafter who hates looking for projects and materials
  • The long term crafter who cannot seem to finish projects due to getting off track
  • The person looking for a new hobby, where they can pick new projects to start
  • The crafter searching for something to look forward to every month
  • The person who wants to create meaningful, handmade gifts for loved ones

Should You Buy It?

The idea of a craft subscription box is both efficient and exciting. It gives customers something to look forward to each month. It also eliminates the hassle of having to find projects and materials to work on. If you are a new crafter, looking for a hobby to pick up, or simply need some structure and guidance on your craft journey, I suggest giving Annie’s Kit Club a try!

Cons to Consider

Although most customers have a positive experience with Annie’s Kit Clubs, some users did have negative complaints about their experience. Some of the cons to consider before signing up include:

  • Can be rather difficult to cancel the subscription
  • Some customers find it expensive
  • Some crafts may be too difficult for the children they market to
  • To get a refund, you must show proof of payment

Where to Buy

Due to the fact that Annie’s Kit Clubs are a subscription service that include carefully selected time frames, materials, instructions, and tutorials, the only place you can purchase Annie’s Kit Clubs is directly from their website. The site allows you to choose from a variety of crafts ranging from knitting blankets, to creating custom cards. Whatever type of craft you’re yearning to try, Annie’s Kit Clubs has options!

The Competition

Maker Crate

Maker Crate is a craft subscription box for teens and adults. Some of their crafts include macrame planters, punch needle pillows, and terrazzo clay organizers. They differ from Annie’s Kit Clubs because they ship an entire craft in one subscription. You are intended to finish this craft, then the next subscription box will be something completely new. Their boxes start at $26.95 a month. While they seem to have simpler crafts, rather than afghans and quilts like Annie’s Kit Clubs, this may be a good option for beginners or people who want short term crafts.

 

Adults & Crafts

The Adults & Crafts subscription box includes unique kits that you may not find from traditional craft subscription boxes. These include projects such as wood burning, geode coaster making, glass succulent shelf making, and more. Similar to Maker Crate, Adults & Crafts kit’s are shorter lived, mostly featuring short term crafts that can be finished in one subscription term. Their monthly boxes start at $33.

 

The Woobles

The Woobles is a specific craft subscription box for crafters learning to crochet. Each month, users will receive a unique crochet project that varies in difficulty to encourage crocheting skills. Most boxes feature cute stuffed animals that customers are instructed on how to make. Ranging from $25-$30, this subscription may be a good option for those learning to master one specific craft skill.

Final Verdict

Annie’s Craft Kit’s are truly the craft subscription box with the widest variety of projects I have seen. While other subscriptions focus on short term crafts, Annie’s Kit Clubs are unique because they encourage longer crafts that you receive further details for over time. This helps you actually finish projects and create crafts that can be handed down for generations to come.
