🌧️ What to do on a rainy day: DIY embroidery!

Hasn’t the weather been super gloomy and unpredictable lately? I’ve been looking for things to do in place of my usual outdoor activities, and have found a few which I’ll share in this 🌧️ series. Let’s share some ideas to keep the boredom away!!!

First up is a hobby I recently picked up that’s budget friendly, easy to pick up (and put down when needed), portable and relaxing - embroidery! I got these super cute DIY keychain embroidery kits from Shopee for just $5 each! I feel like this would make for a super cute Christmas gift too, if you’re looking for something unique and handmade.

Fun fact: Did you know studies have shown a significant relationship between knitting frequency and feeling calm/happy, and even reported higher cognitive functioning? 😮

Overall Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

🚚 Delivery was surprisingly prompt; it arrived about 2 days after I made my payment!

📦 Items were packed well with:

• 2x needles 🪡

• 1x front and back outlined embroidery base

• A full set of thread 🧵

• An instruction sheet with embroidery instructions, and a QR code to video demos (super helpful!)

• An embroidery hoop - which you will not need for this particular set as the base is sturdy enough without it. I tried to kiap it anyway, it’s too thick so it didn’t work 😂

🕰️ Approximately 1-2 days per piece, depending on how long you spend. It took me about 3-4 days for each piece, I spent an hour a day on average.

🛒 Where to buy: Shopee (about $5)
