5 out of 5 starsI haven’t used the kit yet so cannot comment. However I received the kit beautifully wrapped in tissue paper with a lovely thank you card from the seller. Obviously care was taken. 🌸

Frequently asked questions
Can you Gift wrap my order or include a handwritten note?
If you are short on time to get a gift to a loved one I am more than happy to gift wrap and include a zuzu&me postcard with a personalised handwritten message. Please enquire for details.
I can also do digital gift vouchers for any amount here: https://squareup.com/gift/2Q4S8Z71RVB2A/order
Fibre is sourced from Ethical farms & your order will be sent in Reused & Recyclable Packaging
The super cute boxes used for my Advent cards and craft Kits are all earth friendly. Kit instructions are printed on unbleached recycled paper. My wool is sourced from ethical farms where sheep graze on large grassy paddocks and are free from mulesing. Where possible your order will be wrapped in compostable brown paper. I use hemp and jute twine and unbleached acid-free tissue paper. And friends all donate their clean bubble wrap to me to reuse. If you can reuse ANY of my packaging that'll be fabulous. If not please pop it in your recycling bin.
If you're a retailer you may be interested in Wholesaling my Kits & Cards
Please message me for a wholesale catalogue.
I am a small cottage business that relies on the goodwill of little elves to help me put my kits together. Every item is measured, weighed and carefully packaged and my instructions are printed on unbleached recycled paper. My wool is from happy sheep sourced from ethical farms. My small selection of wholesale partners around the globe understand that my prices are not Quite at the common 50% for mass produced items. And they're happy to pay a tiny bit more for my unique offerings - knowing they're supporting happy animals (incl humans) and planet. AND for retailers in the USA, the rate of exchange currently means that your Freight will be basically FREE (as at January 2022).
How firm should my creation be?
The intended use can guide how firm or soft your creation needs to be.
For core shapes like body and head it helps if it is firm enough that it doesn’t reduce by more than one third when squeezed. But it certainly doesn’t need to be rock hard either 😊
Some people like to make a point of keeping things soft for little hands – and they won’t last unfortunately. If you want it to be played with, the firmer is better. And when it comes to sculpting detail, it needs to be firmer to make it malleable and hold its form.
Where can I find out about your workshops?
My newsletter is the best way to keep abreast of my creative journey, online offerings and in-person teaching opportunities. Sign up here:

Booking is by payment. Email zuzuandme(at)gmail(dot)com for details. And YES I DO GIFT CARDS TOO: https://squareup.com/gift/2Q4S8Z71RVB2A/order
Is my purchase sent with tracking?
Mostly yes! :)
All overseas orders are mailed with Tracking and you'll get a live link to keep track of it.
Within Australia, my large kits (Nativity, Mermaid, Forest Folk and Angel Tree Topper) are mailed as a Standard PARCEL and this does include tracking door to door.
All my Starter kits (Toadstool, Little Fairy & Gnomie) go as a LETTER within Australia and there is no tracking. Why? Well basically to save you paying for a parcel, I go to the extra effort of vacuuming fibre into slimline boxes that can be mailed as a LETTER. Hoorah!
You also have the option to upgrade to Express postage within Australia.
