Gifts that ‘encapsulate’ creativity

We’ve been busy little elves, creating a holiday craft workshop inside the Capsule that might rival Santa’s! We’ve dreamed up 7 ornament designs perfect for all ages to make, as well as 4 cute handmade gifts kids can create and wrap up for those they love-all in under 15 minutes.

We are excited to be test-driving a new way to bring the Capsule to more people this week through our neighborhood host concept.  We’ve asked 3 of our favorite Capsule friends to ‘host’ us on their street for open crafting in their neighborhoods. Flyers have been posted at schools and passed out on area doorsteps.   We’re so excited!  We hope this idea of hosting the Capsule will be a win-win.  We get the opportunity to make more friends and showcase what we do, and for a neighborhood it’s a great chance to not only support a local business but to encourage friends and neighbors to visit with each other, make something handmade and thoughtful, and really get into the true spirit of the holidays.    If your kids are out of school and you are looking for something fun to do with them this week, please join us at one of these neighborhood Capsule events, starting tomorrow!

Can you believe there are only five more shopping days til Christmas? Scary!  If you are looking for something more meaningful and unique to tuck under the tree this year we have just the thing!  We’ve packaged up some of our best birthday party crafts into adorable DIY kits that ‘encapsulate’ what we do inside the Creative Capsule. We can’t figure out why we didn’t think to offer this sooner.   We have three kits available for purchase:

-DIY Superhero Kit:  includes cape, wristbands, eyemask, felt decals & other embellishments to make this outfit completely your own. $28

-DIY Monster Kit: includes blank plushie monster, paint & brush, googly eyes and other silly embellishments to help you give your monster personality! $20

-DIY Fairy Kit: includes felt wings, tulle wand, and woodland inspired embellishments & ribbon to make this outfit completely magical! $25

Our kits make great gifts for all ages because, by purchasing one, you are giving more than just a “thing”, you are giving a process along with it- encouraging kids to harness their own creativity, use their hands, and turn raw objects into items full of use and personality. Now that’s a timeless gift worth paying for!
