Our First Attempt
We’re still getting hands-on with this one, so we haven’t fully tried the kits yet. But we’re buzzing to dive in and learn as we go. The video below is one we watched that got us genuinely excited to give this craft a crack. The kits linked further down are the ones we’re planning to use when we start, but we haven’t tested them yet so have a read of the reviews and make sure they look right for you too.
