Top 7 Amazon arts and crafts deals you should know about

If you’ve been saying “I want to learn to crochet” for the last two years, this kit is the kind of thing that might actually get you started. It comes with everything: hooks, yarn, a needle, a pattern, and access to step-by-step video tutorials, which matters more than people give credit for when you’re learning from scratch. The axolotl design is specific enough to be fun rather than just a practice square, and that actually helps people follow through. One caveat: this is a beginner kit, so experienced crocheters won’t find much here, but for someone gifting it to a curious friend or teenager, it’s a genuinely solid pick.

Diamond painting sits in a nice middle ground between genuinely relaxing and actually producing something you’d want to put on a wall. The Yezavesu horse kit is 14×14 inches, which is big enough to feel like a real project without being the kind of thing that takes three months to finish. It comes with full drill coverage, meaning the whole canvas gets gems rather than just the focal point, and the round drill format is generally more forgiving for beginners than square drill. If you’re buying this for someone who’s never tried diamond painting, this size and style is a good entry point.

The raccoon family design is genuinely charming, which sounds like a small thing but matters when you’re going to be staring at a canvas for hours. At 13.78×13.78 inches it’s close in size to the Yezavesu horse kit also on sale this week, so if you’re choosing between them, it really comes down to the design you’d rather look at every day. The 5D designation refers to the facets on each drill, which gives the finished piece more light reflection and a more polished look. One practical thing to know: a good lamp nearby makes a real difference when placing tiny gems, so don’t set up in a dim corner.

The Betem dual-tip markers give you 24 colors with both a fine tip and a broader chisel tip on each pen, which is useful if you’re doing lettering or detail work across different surfaces like rock, wood, or fabric. They’re water-based and non-toxic, which makes them safe for family craft sessions, and the formula also means easier cleanup if someone leaves the cap off. With Easter coming up fast, these are particularly well-suited for decorating eggs, and they do work on egg shells without trouble. A good all-around set for anyone who wants one pack that handles multiple materials without buying into a specialty brand.

One thousand beads sounds like a lot until you’ve spent an afternoon doing kandi bracelets with a group of kids. The Sistenia set comes in red, green, white, gold, and silver, which reads as a holiday palette but works perfectly for spring and summer projects, especially anything with a metallic or neutral base. The 6x9mm size is the standard pony bead size, compatible with most bracelet patterns you’ll find online. If you’re planning craft time for a birthday party or school event, a bag like this goes a long way.

The MOOCA 200-piece set gives you a good variety of five print styles in one order, which saves the back-and-forth of buying separate packs for different occasions. The 6×9 inch size is the more versatile of the two MOOCA options this week, fitting most standard jewelry boxes, folded accessories, or small clothing items without much extra room to rattle around. The black and white colorway is genuinely useful for a range of occasions without looking like an afterthought. If you’re a small Etsy seller or regularly put together gift sets for things like baby showers, stocking up at this price makes practical sense.

The smaller sibling to the 6×9 set, the 5×7 bags are better suited for jewelry, single cookies, or small accessories that would look lost in the larger size. Same 200-piece count, same five-print variety, just scaled down for items that need a snugger fit. The included stickers for sealing are a nice touch, removing the need to source ribbon or tape separately. These feel most useful for holiday markets, bake sales, or anyone putting together a lot of small gifts at once.

The WRAPAHOLIC London city design is specific and a little quirky, which means it works especially well for people who are hard to shop for, the kind of person who’d actually appreciate the wrapping as much as the gift. At 17 inches wide and 16.5 feet long, this is a mini roll, so it’s intended for one or two special presents rather than a pile of boxes. The print is detailed without being busy, with illustrated city scenes in a palette that photographs well if you’re packaging products to sell. It’s listed for birthdays and weddings, and it would genuinely work for either, especially if the recipient has any connection to travel or England.
