WHAT IS CRAFTY CARTONS?

Born out of necessity during the 2020 Covid 19 pandemic, Crafty Cartons is RETRO REHABS answer to keeping NZ crafting during a time of civil emergency 

Traditionally we deliver our fun interactive workshops to you in person, face to face - but that is no longer possible! And we know that this has left a large number of people at home and many without access to basic art supplies. So we started, just like any other Kiwi would, with some cello tape and number 8 wire (well actually we started by just raiding my well stocked craft room lol) and we worked throughout the night making up essential crafting packs and getting this out to you... From this it was clear there was a great need for affordable and easily accessible craft packs! So Crafty Cartons was born
