Artterro- Eco Friendly Arts & Crafts

We recently received three beautiful art kits from the award wining company Artterro. One look at these kits and our imaginations were off with all the different things we could make with the beads, colored thread, beautiful paper, and colored wire. Just looking at all the materials got the wheels in our creative brains turning.

It’s hard not to feel creative once you open an award winning Artterro kit. Coloring inside the lines goes out the window as you’re sewing, gluing, painting and cutting. After an hour of creative design you won’t believe what you will end up making. Although the kits are geared toward children, it’s still a lot of fun for adults too. This is a perfect way to spend a rainy, lazy afternoon with the kids.

Who is Artterro?

While searching for eco-friendly art kits, Forrest and Jen, owners of Artterro, were disappointed in the options. Glitzy, over packaged and cookie cutter projects were all they found. These products were cheap and found their way into the trash in mere days after being used. Forrest and Jen took it upon themselves to create a better option to these tacky trinkets. What they created was Artterro - a consciously sustainable and eco friendly art business.

This is a company that is committed to sustainability and to helping others. They use little packaging, and any packaging and marketing materials they do use are printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper using vegetable based inks. Artterro provides jobs for those is need and has donated kits to Project Kids in Cambodia, an art program for orphanages in Cambodia.

The Kits

There are twelve kits to choose from; everything from collage art and canvas story books to bubble wands and wire bead creations. The creativity juices will be flowing with each bead, stitch and piece of felt. Combine the kits together or with other household items to make a truly unique creation. Your neck and fridge will never be the same.

The kits come with an assortment of materials, and are filled with beautiful beads, wool felt shapes, elegant handmade paper, needles and thread. All you have to do is start cutting, gluing and sewing and you’re fast on your way to making a gorgeous handmade craft. It’s amazing how many different creations you can come up with.

Both my daughter who is 5 and son who is 7 and a half loved the Artterro kits and together the made me a beautiful necklace, bracelet, earrings, and a host of adorable decorations for around the house.

We certainly loved Artterro and can’t wait to try out the other kits they offer. If you’re looking for a fun and imaginative activity for you and your kids, Artterro art kits are the perfect solution. And with that we give Artterro the Naturally Savvy Seal of Approval.
