Aldi does crafts, proving that it certainly is not a one trick pony. You thought Aldi was just the place to be for cheap booze and toiletries? How wrong you were! They're currently stocking everything a keen crafts(wo)man could need. Whether you've got little ones who love to get creative or are a machine on the sewing machine yourself (the friend we all need), you'll love the range on offer in store and online, right now!

We're talking everything from books, how-to kits and paint brushes to full on sewing machines, craft trolleys and reading lights. It's unfair that arts and crafts can be an expensive hobby and so we are so on board with these budget solutions from Aldi. And, just for balance, we've listed some of our favourite craft buys at today's best prices from other retailers, too.
