An 'at home' Guided Art Experience
Created by NH Art Studios using the same teaching approach trusted by my weekly art students.
Everything you need. No experience required.
FROM MY ART STUDIO TO YOUR HOME
For years I’ve taught weekly art lessons to both children and adults in our local community. One thing I hear again and again is:
“I wish I could paint like this at home, but I wouldn’t know where to start.”
This kit was created to solve that problem for busy families, adults looking for creative time, students who’ve enjoyed my classes, and anyone who wants a meaningful, calm, screen-free Christmas activity from home.
Hi, I’m Natalie Hopkins
…local art teacher and founder of NH Art Studios. For more than five years I’ve helped people in our community explore their creativity through guided art lessons [read more here]. The last 3 years it has been my full-time pursuit to enable curious minds to express their creativity through the medium of art.I have spent many years dreaming about selling a box that has everything you need to get started with your first painting (or your second, or third).I’ve finally taken all my years of experience and put them into developing this ‘All-In-One’ Christmas DIY Painting Kit to provide you with everything you will need to get the art studio experience, in your home.DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE, AND REAL BUDGETS
I know this year has been financially tough for many families. This kit isn’t meant to be a cheap, throw-away craft.It’s designed to be a once-off creative experience.
One box that replaces:
– An art lesson
– All the supplies
– The prep time and guesswork
Whether you use it as a replacement art class for your child during the holidays, a quiet creative moment for yourself, a meaningful gift for a friend, or something to do together over the holidays, my goal is simple:
To help you slow down, enjoy the process, and finish with something you’re genuinely proud of.
✔ Premium acrylic paints
✔ Quality brushes
✔ Prepped canvas
✔ Step-by-step printed instruction manual
✔ All additional materials needed
Each box is packed with care and intention by me, not mass-produced.

INSTRUCTIONAL BOOKLET
With NH Art Studios you are never alone. With years of experience in guiding curious minds to express their creativity, we've put together a step-by-step booklet that will guide you from 'blank canvas' to 'Beautiful Creation' with ease, using clear visuals and examples to help you along
A4 PANEL CANVAS
In your Christmas gift box you will find a high quality A4 panel canvas ready for painting. All you need to do is begin following the instructions in your booklet
DRAWING TEMPLATE
The artwork for creating your special Christmas memory is provided in a printed template with clear thick lines so that (almost) anyone can trace or copy from it
CARBON TRACING PAPER
To simplify the drawing of the artwork onto the supplied canvas, we have included a sheet of carbon tracing paper to use with the template
2x PAINT BRUSHES
You don't need any pre-existing equipment to create your own creative Christmas canvas. You'll get all the paintbrushes you'll need in order to complete the artwork
6+ COLOURS OF QUALITY ACRYLIC PAINT
Depending on which artwork you select, you will get all the colours required for completing the artwork. Importantly, at NH Art Studios we pride ourselves in providing non-toxic paint that won't frustrate you or hold you back
PAINT PALETTE
To assist you in keeping your paint colours separate or mixed as needed, you'll receive a plastic paint palette which you can use for mixing colours
CLOTH
Sometimes when painting a picture, paint ends up somewhere that we don't want it. You'll get a sheet of cloth to assist you with keeping your tools, and your space, clean while you paint.
PLASTIC DISPLAY EASEL
Perfect for displaying your Christmas painting for the whole family to enjoy upon completion, you will find a small display easel in your box to help keep the memories of Christmas 2025 alive
Pick one, or two, or all three
This gift box for children and adults comes in three different variations, all exactly the same, and yet uniquely beautiful.
Each variation comes with a different drawing template, and a different set of colours tailored towards completing a unique take on the Christmas Themed Gingerbread painting.

Gingerbread Girl DIY Painting Kit
This cute DIY painting of a gingerbread girl with holly in her hair and a piece of candy in her hand represents the playful beauty and youthful sweetness of Christmas.
With a striking example of colour theory in practice, this artwork uniquely captures stark contrast with large areas of unbroken colour.

Gingerbread Reindeer DIY Painting Kit
This unique DIY painting of a gingerbread reindeer captures the wonder of the classic Christmas with attention grabbing antlers and baubles hanging off them to invoke a true sense of Christmas joy.
The busiest of the three images, this image demonstrates how a darker background can help increase contrast of the mid-tones.
R279
Gingerbread Boy DIY Painting Kit
This painting of a gingerbread boy celebrates the fun of Christmas with a classic candy cane as a walking stick, and a complimentary top hat and outfit.
This DIY painting’s strong point lies in crisp clear lines and the clearest example of value contrast with the Black & White look accentuated by the Red & White stripes of the candy cane.
R279
With a long list of satisfied children and parents (like K. Naidoo and her son from Newcastle) choosing art as a form of educational entertainment year after year, you’d be in good hands if you made the same choice today, for only R279
Don't let the joy of Christmas begin or end with opening gifts
with this themed Christmas DIY Painting Kit, you’ll create memories that last long after the paint dries
