One of our favourite things about our kits is something you can’t see when the box first arrives.
It’s not the design.
It’s not the paint colours.
It’s not even the finished piece.
It’s the fact that no two projects ever turn out the same. Even when they start with the exact same kit.
And honestly? That’s kind of the magic!
We often hear people say, “I’m not creative,” or “I don’t think mine will look as good as yours.”
But here’s the thing: creativity doesn’t look one way.
Every person brings their own:
Colour preferences
Mood that day
Pace and style
Willingness to follow the lines… or not
Two people can sit at the same table, open the same kit, and walk away with pieces that feel completely different. And that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.
Our kits are designed to guide you not box you in.
You can:
Stick closely to the suggested colours
Change the palette completely
Paint softly or go bold
Add your own little touches along the way
Some people paint slowly, layer by layer.
Others jump right in and trust the process.
Both are right.
Both are beautiful.
Sometimes the best parts of a project aren’t planned.
A brush stroke goes slightly outside the line.
A colour blends in a way you didn’t expect.
You step away, come back, and suddenly love it even more.
Those little moments? That’s where the personality lives.
Your finished piece tells a story not just of the design, but of the time you spent making it.
We love seeing your finished projects come through our messages and tags.
It’s always the same reaction on our end:
“Wow… that looks nothing like the last one and we love it.”
Because even though the kit might be the same, the maker never is.
And that’s what makes Our Little Makery so special.
Our hope is that when you open one of our kits, you feel:
Calm
Confident
Free to create without pressure
Whether you’re crafting at the kitchen table, curled up with a blanket, or carving out a quiet moment just for you, your project doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.
It just needs to feel like yours.
