DIY kit

Build-it-yourself set

A DIY kit is a package containing materials and instructions for completing a project yourself—assembling furniture, building electronics, brewing beer, or crafting.

The appeal lies in the satisfaction of making something with your own hands without sourcing individual components: She bought a DIY kit to build her own synthesizer.

DIY stands for "do it yourself."
