ARTEZA Craft Advent Calendar, 24-Day DIY Art Kit with Supplies & Projects, Curated by Lauren Quigley, Holiday Gift for Adults, Crafters & Artists

This is the second advent calendar i have purchased by this company for my mother. In 2023, i bought the fine art supply and in 2024 i bought her this one.She loves this one so much better. Every day she excitedly tells me what she got! As for lack of instructions and hints, my mother is a very much “color outside the lines” 70year old artist. Given instructions, she would still do her own thing.

This advent is well worth the price. Great quality supplies and each project is well thought of. You even have extra supplies that you can use for other crafts. The box is beautiful and well made. I bought two of these and my daughter loves hers. So do I. We had a mother daughter craft day every week. So much fun. I highly recommend this seller and product

If what you are hoping for is a handful of projects that might get you into a new medium or introduce you to Arteza products you don't already use, this is not for you.This advent calendar is largely akin to wandering down a holiday isle at michaels and picking up a few $4 project kits with the exact same level of arts and crafts feel and without anything approaching directions.The most interesting project is polymer clay jewelry, and the instruction card just says "after you bake" What temperature, or how long? Who knows?Some boxes has singular pens or bags of glitter and if I had to put a value on the number and variety of items I'd say... maybe $45? Except you're spending $80.Everything was also extremely dusty, though I believe it's dust from the very thin chipboard being used to make the boxes. Feels pretty terrible either way. While what I wanted was a little less arts & craftsy, the lack of actual instructions or guidance really makes this fall short of even being enjoyably arts & crafts project. The packaging is nice and looks cute and that's really the only part I enjoyed about it, which was a big shame. Love Arteza products usually, but can't recommend this.

It arrived in great condition, and I love the idea of having self-contained crafts that you can do over the course of the box. However, there are NO instructions in the box on how to do the crafts or what some of the materials are. I was hoping the tie-in artist might have some guides on their personal channel...nope! Just short 10 second tiktoks that are clearly more of a marketing thing than a guide. The value also feels a little lacking - some of the materials feel quite cheap. One of the early days came with a cheap dollar store easel that was Arteza branded...except the logo was embossed crooked. The lack of value could have been completely forgiven if there were good instructions for the crafts. Without that, it feels underwhelming. It's a great idea with surprisingly poor execution.

I’ve taken art classes all my life so I consider myself pretty creative and was really looking forward to this calendar but it really fell flat. If you are somebody who likes to be crafty but needs some direction, DO NOT BUY. If you want a bunch of craft supplies thrown in a box for you to do your own thing, then this is the box for you!

Well done advent calendar. Uniquely packaged with a series of crafts emit build on each day. May not get to craft each day but after a few days you have a nice piece with some quality art implements!

This advent calendar was amazing for my 11 year old daughter. She loved having different crafts every few days to countdown to Christmas! Wonderful kit for the price of the value highly recommend.

The artist that created this is amazing! How thoughtfully put together for many days of creative fun! I'm so happy that I bought this and hopefully will be available again in 2025! Thanks Arteza!
