Mostly here for the nature projects. The mushroom group is my favourite.
Already picked my next four projects. Just need the time now!
Glad there are useful things to make as well as decorations.
My mum and I picked the same project and somehow made two completely different-looking pieces. Hers is neat, mine has a bit more character, let’s say. Lovely afternoon together.
Heel fijn dat er sjablonen bij zitten. Zelf iets uit de losse hand tekenen is niet mijn sterkste punt.
Started with the little catchall tray because it looked manageable. Mine is slightly wonky, but it holds my keys just fine and I actually like that it looks handmade.
Finally used the clay that had been sitting in my cupboard for months.
I thought I’d just browse through this and save a few ideas for later. Ended up clearing the kitchen table on Sunday and making the ring dish. I haven’t done anything like this since school. Took me longer than expected and I made a mess, but it was such a nice way to spend an afternoon.
Bought it for the vases. Now I want to make the mushrooms too.
Mir hilft es total, ein Projekt von Anfang bis Ende vor mir zu haben. Wenn ich online nach Ideen suche, habe ich irgendwann zwanzig Tabs offen und fange trotzdem nichts an. Hier habe ich mir einfach eine Sache ausgesucht und losgelegt.
My first handmade gift that I actually felt happy giving someone 😂
Made the ring dish for my sister with her initial in the middle. The hardest part was leaving it alone to dry. I kept wanting to pick it up and check it! Put it in a little box with tissue paper and was really pleased with how it looked.
Lots of things I’d genuinely put in my house.
I don’t have a craft room or much storage, so I wanted small projects I could work on at the kitchen table. Tried two of the simpler ones so far. A good fit for the space I have.
The pencil pot is already on my desk. Very happy with it.
This was a bit of an impulse purchase and I honestly thought it might disappear into my downloads folder. But I’ve made three things already. My first vase wasn’t great because I rushed it. Tried again, slowed down, and the second one came out much better.
Four stars because I’m still working my way through it. Spent more time choosing my first project than actually making it.
Bought it as a gift, so I haven’t worked through it myself. The person I gave it to has started making something and seems pleased so far.
Die Projekte, die ich bisher angeschaut habe, gefallen mir gut. Ich muss noch schauen, was ich mit meinem vorhandenen Material machen kann, weil ich nicht gleich alles neu kaufen möchte. Angefangen habe ich mit der kleinen Ringschale.
I’ve only finished one project, so four stars for now. Enjoyed the first one and have already picked what I’m trying next.
Opening and organising everything on my old phone was a bit awkward. Switched to my computer and that sorted it out. Haven’t made anything yet, so this is more of a first impression than a proper verdict.
Had some pages printed at a local print shop without asking for a quote first. That was my mistake, because the bill was more than I expected and took the shine off the whole thing a bit. The PDF itself opens and looks fine. My disappointment was with the printing expense.
Spent two days looking for the email and thinking nothing had arrived. Eventually found it in spam, which I hadn’t checked on my phone. Really frustrating start. I haven’t tried the projects yet, so this rating is about that experience rather than the contents.

No. Every project is designed for air-dry clay, which hardens at room temperature in a few days. A kitchen table is enough.
Any white air-dry clay from a craft shop works. Start Here explains the differences and how much each project takes.
Yes. Start Here walks you through tools, workspace and your first slab, and Volume 01 is built for absolute beginners.
