Artterro Art Dolls Kit

An eco-friendly, open-ended art project with beautiful materials

Craft four fun dolls with luxurious hand made paper, glass beads, colorful wool felt dresses and needle and thread. Turn them into bookmarks, decorations, scrapbook covers or even pins to wear!

Notes from the manufacturer:

Where’s the Big Fancy Box?
Our kits look a little different than your average craft kit. It’s because we’ve turned them inside-out! Most companies spend their money on big cardboard boxes with lots of plastic packaging inside and pennies on the materials.
We’ve skipped the excessive packaging and invested in 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper, reusable bags and beautiful high-quality materials that sell themselves.
What Sustainability Means to Us
We founded Artterro with important core beliefs. We are committed to using as few resources as possible, respecting and enjoying the company of the people we work with, and taking into account the social and environmental impact we have on the planet and community at home. We will always strive to offer worthwhile, affordable products that encourage friends and family to connect with each other and the very human need to create beauty in their lives.
What We’re Doing Now
• Packaging inserts and marketing materials are printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper using vegetable based inks and renewable energy.
• We minimized kit packaging to reduce waste and shipping expense. They take up less space in packing boxes.
