New Product - Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty!

A fun, new product for kids and adults of all ages is Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty! 

Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty is a "Made in the USA" product and it is non-toxic.

 The putty is also safe for use by people with sensitivity to wheat or latex.

The Thinking Putty will never dry out or crumble. You can use the Thinking Putty as a stress reliever as it is stretchy and tears like paper. You can even roll it up into a ball and it will bounce! The putty comes in many different colors, some more popular styles the putty comes in are Magnetic, Glow in the Dark and Hypercolor. The hypercolor putty changes color from the heat from your hands!

This is a great product that will keep both the kids and adults busy for hours!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We have our Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty product display and a video showing how to use the putty by our register entrance.

Photo Sleeve Fuse Tool by We R Memory Keepers

 

Do you have the Photo Sleeve Fuse Tool by We R Memory Keepers yet?  Why is this a must-have tool to have in your craft supply you ask? This is a heat tool that easily allows the user to create their own custom pockets and sleeves for use in sealing keepsakes, craft embellishments and party decorations. This is certainly a must-have tool for those who do the Pocket Style/Project Life scrapbooking! I've seen luggage tags, bookmarks and even cupcake toppers created with this tool.

Take a look below at our store samples using the Photo Sleeve Fuse Tool, these projects are displayed in our store as well!

 Layouts using the Fuse Photo Sleeve Tool

We've started a Pinterest Board full of Photo Sleeve Fuse inspiration for using this amazing tool.

My favorite project using the Fuse Tool I've seen on the internet thus far, the Celebration Cupcake Pick. This video is from the We R Memory Keepers Blog Hostess, Aly Dosdall. 

There are so many different ways you can customize this project depending on the kind of event you are celebrating. It certainly looks easy enough and I'm sure all of your friends will be impressed with the time you took to put your own personalized touch into the special occasion. 

 


What projects have you created with the Fuse? We want to see them! Upload your pictures to any of our Social Media Outlets with the hashtag #CraftsDirectDIY and we may feature your project online or in our store!

Homemade Gift Ideas for Mason Jars!

What is your favorite use for Mason Jars? I believe they are the most useful household product we stock here at the store. With a few coats of paint, embellishments and filler, they can make the perfect gift! Mason jars have so many purposes; vases, table centerpieces, candy/treat containers and a soap dispenser are some common uses I've seen with them.

 

We have Vintage Ball Jars that are available in limited colors such as green, blue and purple.

 

There is also a product by Design Master called TintIT in which you can create your own customized colored jar with a transparent dye spray if you wish to add just a slightly different hue to the glass jar.

 

 

 

 

 

 Take a look at some of our Store Sample Projects below for inspiration.

 

 Summer Porch Jar

 Mirrored Glass Jar 

 

Cupcake Liner Pint Jar

 Pint Jar With Fabric

 Pint Jar With Fish Netting

Pint Jar with Knob

 Princess Jar With Photo

We also have pinned some incredibly creative ideas on our Mason Jar Crafts board on Pinterest!  Happy Crafting!

Our New Simplified Events Calendar

Have you seen our newly updated Events Calendar on our website? We now have a more simplified design to better serve you, our customers! Now you can also receive weekly updates for our events by simply entering in your email address. 

You can hover over the select class or click to open the highlighted link and find more information regarding that class/event. For example, you can find information such as, the time the class starts and ends, a brief description of the class and the cost.

New options with this newly designed calendar that are available include "Sharing the Event" to Facebook, Twitter and copying the link for other personal use. 

You can also share the entire specified month calendar of events.

Yet another great feature is the ability to "save an event" to your preferred electronic calendar.

What I like best about this new design is the visual timeline of available classes for the month. This can be found on the lower half of the main event calendar page.

You may sign up for classes at the customer service desk, or call 654-0907. Class fees are due at the time of sign-up to reserve your spot. We gladly accept credit cards over the phone for your convenience. If you are signing up for a class or have already please read our class policies.
