11 Fun Make-Your-Own Kits to Try During Isolation

It’s week billion that we have all been locked down in isolation now.  Shit is getting old.  We have done all the ironing.  Now it’s time to find something FUN to do – or learn a new hobby!  Cue in these delicious little boxes of fun – Make Your Own Kits, they come with everything you need and nothing you don’t!  Which one to try first…..

1. Make Your Own Cheese Kit

This is one that I personally will be doing as it has always been my life goal to make my own cheese.  There are home making cheese kits for any type of cheese you can imagine – but if you are just wanting to give it a go on a small scale – we love this little tiny cheese making kit – so cute!

3. Knitting Kits for Beginners

If you have ever wanted to learn how to knit, this is the perfect time!  If you have everything you need already at home, there are loads of fantastic Youtube channels that show you very slowly and carefully how to knit and pearl!

We love this Beginners Kit from Etsy

4. Make Your Own Sourdough Kit

If you have ever made your own sourdough bread from scratch at home, you know how time consuming it can be (oh and it is a simply FANTASTIC arm workout if you don’t use a dough hook!).  But it is fun and there is nothing better in the world than the smell of fresh bread.  And sure, you can buy bread mixes from the Supermarket, but its the specialty breads such as sourdough that are fun to take the time to make at home.  Give it a go!

We love this 15 Minute Sourdough Kit

5. Cross Stitch Kit

Want to get started in cross stitch?  Why not do a small, fun cross stitch – like this one – that tells people to Go Eat a Dick!

6. Make Your Own Kombucha Kit

If you have been living under a rock, kombucha is a fermented gut-friendly beverage that tastes much like a soft drink with a vinegar aftertaste (but not unpleasant at all!).  The stuff is amazing for gut health and now you can make your own batch at home – including a real live Scoby (which is much like the ‘Mother’).  This is a great Kombucha kit for beginners to try their hand at making their own kombucha at home.

7. Make Your Own Coconut Yogurt Kit

Because my husband can’t have dairy – we eat a lot of coconut yogurt – and that shit is EXPENSIVE!  We go through about $30 worth per week!  So I am definitely going to get this kit and try it at home – because it makes eight litres of the stuff!  I’m not spending money, I’m SAVING money!
