This kit has lot of handmade, intricate details. The candles were made from a popsicle stick. Each flower was made by hand. Even the baskets are hand woven.
Wow! Your handwoven baskets look amazing! Great job working on such tiny details. I also find cutting little fruits for kits relaxing. They’re so cute!
Thank you. I used a lot of glue and shaped it like mod-podge. Wrapping the rope is pretty easy. Weaving was much more challenging and time consuming but enjoyable. Only the lids were weaved.
I would enjoy trying to weave more baskets in the future.
I love this so much!! You are doing a fantastic job at all these little items! The basket weaving is something I haven’t seen in any kit I’ve done yet, but I do have this kit sitting in my back log so I’ll get to it eventually! Awesome work!
Living in the US does give me access to a large amount of commerce. I’ve seen sellers in the UK and Australia on EBay. eBay has mostly taken over by Temu sellers. American resellers are dying off. It might help if you change your settings on EBay to show more local listings.
Another good option for after market kits could be Facebook market place. I’ve gotten good deals from local craft stores also. Random websites from google image search. I’m constantly on the hunt.
I really enjoyed it. Except for the shelf. I should have just painted the shelf instead of using wood paper. That was a pain.
I am also not a huge fan of cutting things but this kit wasn’t too crazy with cutting.
I hope the Special Edition Nanci Sakura set has no cutting. I have been putting off opening it because it is so special. Don’t tell me! I don’t want to spoil the surprise. I will accept any challenge that it presents.
It’s a lovely kit. I recommend painting the little book shelf instead of wrapping it with wood paper like the instructions suggest.
If you really want to use the wood paper, pay attention to the direction of the grain when you cut. The instructions don’t tell you. The wood paper can only be folded lengthwise. It will not fold the other direction. You have to wrap the paper around the shelves. You need to cut it the correct direction so the paper is able fold.
