The inspiration behind Wood + Stencil Co. began during the pandemic, when we were all cooped up at home. My daughter inspired the start of our small, but mighty foray into the DIY crafting business.Wood + Stencil Co. is Knot Your Average DIY Craft Kit. We sell beautiful, handmade DIY craft kits made of wood and canvas that are fun to assemble and will look great in your home. It has been an amazing experience introducing my daughter to the world of entrepreneurship. It has been an empowering time for the both of us as we navigate through the #start-up life together.
