Lamppostings

You know when you are expecting something in the post and that just seems to make it take forever? So much anticipation!

As a Christmas present for myself and my sister, I signed up for Whimseybox. Whimseybox is a monthly subscription box that comes with everything you need to complete a craft project. And they’re cool craft projects – modern and hip. We both got a year-long subscription and our first box arrived at the end of January. You have no idea what’s coming so there’s a lot of excitement when your box arrives and you open it and see what’s inside. My sister and I actually opened ours together over the phone.

The January Whimseybox was a wire wrapped bead necklace. The packaging was lovely and it was fun to open.

They truly include everything you need to complete the project. Beads, two pairs of pliers, head pins, fasteners and the necklace.

The printed instructions were excellent. They actually have video instructions as well, but the printed instructions were so clear that I didn’t need to access the videos.

It took me a few tries, but I got the hang of the wire wrapping and it was fun. I liked that I could customize how I put the beads on the chain – the pattern.

The whole project took me about an hour and half. I love that the box is complete with everything you need to be crafty. No excuses!

The completed necklace is pretty and I really like it. I’m also pleased that I have a new skill – wire wrapped beads!

Now I can’t wait to see what’s in the February box.
