Whether you are starting a new hobby, planning a screen-free activity, preparing a school holiday project or purchasing supplies for a party, family, workplace or community group, Boxful Events makes it easier to order practical and affordable craft supplies online in Australia.
Crafting does not need to require expensive equipment or a cupboard filled with specialist materials. Many enjoyable projects can be completed using a few simple supplies selected for what you want to make.
Affordable craft supplies available in this collection may include:
Products can generally be purchased individually, helping you avoid paying for materials that are not required for your chosen project. Product sizes, quantities, colours and inclusions vary, so review the individual listing before ordering.
The right supplies depend on what you want to make, who will be completing the project and whether you prefer a structured kit or an open-ended creative activity.

| Scrapbook or memory book | Scrapbook, paper decorations and suitable adhesive | Paper flowers, charms, felt pieces, buttons and photographs |
| Decorated tote bag | Blank calico tote bag and fabric paint | Craft sponge, stencil, beads, buttons or appliqués |

When purchasing for children or a group, also consider preparation time, supervision, small parts, drying time and the amount of adhesive or decorating materials required.
Beads are an affordable and versatile starting point for handmade jewellery, friendship accessories, bag charms and personalised gifts.
Depending on the project, you can use beads to create:
Alphabet beads allow you to add names, initials, dates, words and short messages. Coloured, wooden, sea-themed and glow-in-the-dark beads can be used to create different styles.
Check whether the selected product includes string, cord or keychain components. Some bead products contain only the decorative beads, while complete kits may include additional materials.
A jewellery-making station can be a cost-effective activity for birthdays, sleepovers, hens celebrations, friendship gatherings and school holiday programmes.
Place beads into separate containers and let participants select their own colours and letter combinations. For younger participants, provide simple examples and pre-cut lengths of suitable cord.
Beads and jewellery components may present a choking risk and should be kept away from very young children. Follow the product’s age guidance and provide appropriate adult supervision.
Small embellishments can transform a plain project without requiring expensive materials. Use buttons, sequins, glitter, charms and craft fillers to add colour, texture and personality.
Decorative craft supplies can be added to:
Use an adhesive suited to the materials and finished item. Fabric, paper, clay, timber and plastic components may require different types of glue.
Felt shapes, crochet flowers, paper flowers and other lightweight decorations can be used for collage, cards, handmade gifts and mixed-media projects.
Ideas include:
Lightweight embellishments are useful for quick projects because they can provide an immediate decorative finish without requiring advanced crafting skills.
Air-dry clay allows adults and children to create sculptures, bowls, dishes and decorations without using a kiln.
Air-dry clay can be used to make:
Choose a smaller pack for a compact project or a larger quantity for multiple items, couples activities or group crafting. Pottery tools can help with shaping, cutting, smoothing, carving and adding texture.
Drying times depend on the thickness of the project and surrounding conditions. Allow the item to dry fully before painting or decorating it.
For complete guided experiences, browse our air-dry pottery kits.
Crochet supplies can be used for detailed yarn projects, handmade decorations and personalised home accessories.
Available products may include:
Fine hooks are generally suited to smaller stitches and detailed projects. Check the hook sizes and select yarn or thread appropriate for the chosen hook and pattern.
A wooden basket base provides a structured starting point for handmade containers and decorative storage projects. Add crochet flowers, buttons or other embellishments to personalise the finished item.
Unfinished wooden craft items provide a clear project base that can be painted, decorated or personalised.
Wooden craft ideas may include:
Wooden projects are suitable for crafters who prefer having a defined object to complete rather than beginning with a blank sheet or open-ended design.
Before decorating, consider whether the surface needs light sanding or cleaning. Check the individual product information for assembly requirements, dimensions and suitable paints or adhesives.
Scrapbooking allows you to combine photographs, written memories and decorative materials in one personal project.
Use a scrapbook to record:
Decorate pages with paper flowers, felt shapes, vintage charms, buttons, stars, shells and other lightweight embellishments.
Before attaching original or irreplaceable photographs, check that the adhesive and materials are suitable for long-term use. You may prefer to use copies of valuable photographs.
Fabric paint, fabric glue, blank tote bags, buttons and decorative appliqués can be used to personalise practical textile items.
Fabric craft ideas include:
Always follow the drying, heat-setting and washing instructions provided with the selected fabric paint or adhesive. Place cardboard or another protective layer inside a bag or garment to help prevent paint or glue from transferring through the fabric.
A blank calico tote bag provides both an activity and a practical finished item.
Participants can decorate their bags using:
Tote bag decorating can suit children’s parties, hens celebrations, family activities, community groups and workplace creative sessions.
The best adhesive depends on the surfaces you are joining and the intended use of the finished project.
Available adhesive products may include:
Hot glue can help attach embellishments to suitable surfaces, but the gun and melted adhesive become hot during use. Hot glue guns are not toys and should only be used by a capable adult or under close, appropriate adult supervision.
Protect the work surface, keep fingers away from the nozzle and melted glue, unplug the tool after use and allow it to cool in a safe location.
Shells, raffia, feathers and timber pieces can add natural colour and texture to coastal, rustic and nature-inspired projects.
Natural materials can be used for:
Natural products can vary in colour, shape and size. This variation is part of their appearance and means individual packs may not look identical.
You do not need advanced skills or expensive tools to begin crafting. Choose one straightforward project and purchase only the supplies required to complete it.
Once you know which type of craft you enjoy, you can gradually add more tools, colours and materials.
People searching for “cheap craft supplies” are often looking for practical materials at a low price rather than poor-quality products that cannot complete the intended project.
When comparing craft supplies, consider:
The lowest-priced item is not always the best value if it is unsuitable for the project. Choose affordable materials that match what you intend to make and purchase only the quantities you are likely to use.
Crafting is not only for children. Adults can use creative projects for hobbies, handmade gifts, social activities and screen-free time at home.
Adult craft ideas include:
Many projects can be completed without previous experience. More detailed crochet, model-building and clay projects may require additional time or practice, so review the product description before choosing.
Craft supplies can provide children with hands-on, screen-free entertainment for weekends, rainy days, playdates and school holidays.
Kids craft ideas may include:
Not every product in this collection is intended for children. Beads, small embellishments, sharp tools, hot glue guns and some model kits may require adult use or close supervision.
For products selected specifically for younger creators, explore our kids craft kits and supplies.
A craft activity can provide both entertainment and something each guest can take home.
Affordable party craft ideas include:
For a structured activity, choose the same base project for every guest. For an open craft table, provide a range of embellishments and allow participants to create their own designs.
Before the party:
Crafting can provide a relaxed social activity that still leaves plenty of time for conversation, food and drinks.
Group craft ideas include:
Choose a project that can be explained easily and completed within the time available. Where alcohol is served, avoid activities involving hot tools, sharp equipment or complicated safety requirements.
Selected craft materials may be suitable for supervised classroom, vacation-care and school holiday activities.
Possible projects include:
Educators and programme organisers should review product dimensions, quantities, warnings and recommended ages before ordering. Ensure the activity is appropriate for the participants and supervision available.
Craft projects can provide a structured social activity for community groups, clubs and seniors’ programmes.
Suitable projects will depend on the participants, but may include:
Consider eyesight, dexterity, tool size and the amount of assistance required. Larger components and simpler projects may be more comfortable for some participants.
A simple craft project can provide a hands-on alternative to another screen-based workplace activity.
Workplace craft ideas include:
Select an activity that fits the available time, space and cleanup arrangements. Order sufficient materials for all participants and allow additional supplies for breakages, colour preferences and unexpected attendees.
Making a gift by hand can add a personal element without requiring a large budget.
Handmade gift ideas include:
Choose materials that reflect the recipient’s interests, favourite colours or shared memories. Allow enough time for assembly, drying and any final decoration before the gift is required.
Buttons, felt, flowers, wooden pieces, raffia, shells, paper decorations and clay can be adapted for different seasonal projects.
Seasonal craft ideas include:
Purchasing versatile embellishments rather than event-specific decorations can allow leftover materials to be used for future projects.
Craft supplies provide an alternative to television, gaming and scrolling. Many projects can be completed entirely without a phone, computer or tablet.
Screen-free craft ideas include:
Some people may choose to use an online tutorial or pattern, but the physical crafting process itself remains practical and hands-on.
A craft project can be enjoyed independently and at your own pace. Choose a quick activity for a short break or a detailed project to revisit over several evenings.
Solo craft ideas include:
Crafting is a recreational activity rather than a medical or mental health treatment. Choose an activity because you find it enjoyable and seek appropriate professional support when stress or distress is persistent or overwhelming.
Both individual supplies and complete kits can offer good value, depending on what you already own.
Compare the stated inclusions and quantities rather than relying only on the headline price.
Craft supplies generally include materials used to assemble, decorate, build or personalise an item, such as beads, buttons, felt, glue, clay, embellishments and wooden pieces.
Art supplies generally focus more heavily on drawing and painting materials, including canvases, paint brushes, paint sets, easels and paper.
There is significant overlap between the two categories. Paint, brushes and sponges may be used for both art and craft projects.
For a wider range of paints, canvases, brushes and drawing materials, browse our art and painting supplies.
