WhimseyBox March 2014 – Soft Hands Set – Discount – Save $5.00 – Craft Subscription Box Review

WhimseyBox March 2014

WhimseyBox March 2014

WhimseyBox is a craft subscription box that sends a complete craft, with all the supplies needed, for $15.00 a month. Every month, WhimseyBox sends project instructions, DIY supplies, a reusable storage box, and an original 5×7 original art print each month. WhimseyBox's slogan is “Stop pinning, start making”.  I love Pinterest, but I am horrible at completing projects.  It takes so much time to plan a craft, take the kids to the store with me and then attempt the project.  WhimseyBox sends everything to me for only $15.00 a month.  There is even a coupon to save you $5.00 on your first box!

The Details:

Cost: $15.00 a month

Coupon: Click HERE and save $5.00 of your first box.

Shipping: Whimseybox is currently only available in the US and Canada.  Shipping is free to the US but there is a $5.00 shipping charge for Canada.

What's in the box? Whimseybox is THE destination for DIYers and crafters. We offer a $15 monthly subscription box that brings a fresh new DIY project to your door every month. Whimseybox.com contains hundreds of DIY projects for inspiration, and a blog full of DIY tips, techniques, trends and tutorials.

When does the box ship? Boxes ship at the END of each month. In general, if you subscribed on the 16th of the month or later your first box will be the following month. So, for example, your January 16th payment is for a February box.

When am I billed?  You are billed between the 4th-6th of the month.

How do I cancel? Monthly subscribers can cancel at anytime and there’s never any silliness like cancellation fees. Simply log in to your account, navigate to “My Dashboard” then “Account” cancel your membership there before your next billing cycle.

WhimseyBox included everything to make a sugar scrub and some all natural handmade lotion.  The jars and labels were included too.  The labels are from kidecals and there was a discount code to get 20% off any future orders!  There was even a bottle of essential oil!

Sugar Scrub

Sugar Scrub

I didn't take step by step instructions for this one, because it was so easy.  You just mix the honey, sugar, sweet almond oil and essential oil together and BAM, sugar scrub.  This stuff smells fantastic and made my hands so soft.

Hand Made Lotion

First Try

First Try

You had to melt the beeswax as the first step.  I didn't have a double boiler so I try to use a bowl and a glass.  That was taking forever to melt, so I went another way.

Second Try

Second Try

After my first try wasn't working, I just used the pot of boiling water, and sat the glass inside.  I covered it with foil, so the heat wouldn't escape, and it worked great.

Melting

Melting

You had to melt the beeswax, coconut oil and shea butter together.  This took some time, but it was easy once I used my foil to trap the heat.

Melted

Melted

After everything melted, you poured it into the jar, added the rest of the almond oil and the essential oil.  You put it in the refrigerator and let it cool for 10 minutes, then stir.  You keep repeating this process until you get lotion.

Finished Projects

Finished Projects

The finished projects turned out great!

Final Thought: This was one of my favorite Whimseyboxes.  This was fun and not terribly difficult.  I love that I have extra essential oil to use.  I have read some great benefits of essential oils, and I can't wait to try this oil.  I love how Whimseybox includes everything for the craft!  SAVE.  You can save $5.00 on your first box by clicking HERE.
