This craft box will even have horse lovers gallop into the sunset

Soap creations, Play-Doh jewellery collections or braided bracelets – as a kid, craft kits kept me busy for hours. And that’s still the case today. In this series, my colleague Armin and I get stuck into many a craft kit available from our range. Today, we get stuck in with the horse box by Kosmos.

Browsing the Galaxus shop, I come across a tacky box emanating well-meant Western vibes. The sight of it leaves me with one question that has me in its clutches: who wants this in their lives? «Beautiful craft projects for horse lovers». The slogan on the box reads, suggesting the target audience is made up of the same kids that helped Wendy, the magazine aimed at horse-crazed teenage girls, to success in German-speaking countries. Although I was never a horse girl, I’m game if rhinestones are involved.

I surprised my colleague Armin with the horse craft box by Kosmos. The motto is: the more questionable the box’s theme, the greater the challenge of creating something useful with the materials contained in the kit. The video above reveals who was in the saddle for this challenge. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».

Whose creation touched your horse-loving heart?

The competition has ended.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
