Christmas is a time often spent with family and friends, drinking copious amounts of mulled wine and gorging on mince pies, chocolates and everything in-between.

But beyond the endless food and drinks, it’s also a good opportunity to step back from our laptops and mobile phones and get creative, whether it’s playing competitive board games or flexing your creative muscles by indulging in some arts and craft activities. 

For those looking to get creative this Christmas and give their loved ones the gift of arts and crafts, there are some great DIY craft kits that you may be looking for.

From flower-pressing kits to create your own pottery, these 11 DIY crafting sets will make the perfect gift or treat for yourself.
