{"product_id":"kinusaiga-craft-kit-acorn-leaves-5-5","title":"Kinusaiga Craft Kit: Acorn \u0026 Leaves, 5\" × 5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 5\" × 5\" kinusaiga kit, start to finish. The acorn and leaves pattern comes printed on the adhesive sheet, already mounted on the foam board. Step one is cutting the grooves along those lines with the small craft knife we put in the box, and the card walks you through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne promise from you:\u003c\/strong\u003e use the fabric included and make it your own, don't try to match the photo here. Deal?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKinusaiga is a Japanese fabric art that looks like quilting with none of the sewing. Once the grooves are cut, you peel the paper back from one section at a time, use that scrap as a template to cut your fabric, press the piece onto the exposed adhesive, and tuck the edges down into the grooves. The picture fills in one shape at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn acorn with a polka dot cap, tucked between a burnt orange oak leaf and a brown paisley one, on a soft blue sky. Each leaf is broken into small pointed sections, which is what makes it read as an oak leaf, and the acorn is only a handful of shapes, so it's a good first kit. The prints do a lot of the work at this size. It's our fall pattern for the little frame, and it looks right from September straight through Thanksgiving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e the printed board, a small craft knife for the grooves, fabric swatches for every section of the design and then some, a seam ripper for tucking (used flat back down, which is the best tool we've found for it), a shadowbox the finished piece pushes into, and a card with the steps on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e yours will be close to what's pictured, and the colors will be very close, but the exact prints and the mix change with what we can keep in stock, so the photo is the idea rather than a promise. We pack extra swatches so you can make it your own, and no two kits come out quite the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need scissors. That's the one thing we didn't put in the box, since you already own a pair. A pen is handy too if you'd rather trace a template than cut around it. The craft knife is sharp, so if kids are at the table the cutting is the grown-up's step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo needles, no glue, nothing to plug in. It's an afternoon at the kitchen table, give or take, and it hangs on a wall or sits on a shelf when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant another design?
