Project Ideas: Graudation Projects.

We are almost to May....which means Graduation season is right around the corner! Whether you know a PreSchool, High School, or College graduate - or maybe you are the one planning the party for a graduate - we have lots of gifts, projects, and decorating ideas here at Crafts Direct!

We have three endcaps at the front of the store full of Graduation Paper Crafting items (for invites, cards, display boards, etc) and Party Supplies (paper plates, napkins, banners...).

We also have pulled together some additional ideas on our Pinterest Board from around the web. And today we have a couple of new projects we have created in store as well!

First, we have a Happy Graduation Clear Tube that we simply filled with white Sixlet candies, added some Graduation stickers and a red ribbon. Not only does it look like a rolled diploma - but the recipient has a cute keepsake and some treats too. You could also fill the tube with money to give as a gift too.

Another project idea that would be great as a gift or to display at a graduation party is this "Go Confidently" 12x12 Shadow Box! We have a full supply list and complete project instructions for you to follow on our website HERE.

 

Project Ideas: Noodle Yarn Projects.

A new product to our Fabrics department is the very popular Noodle Yarn! We have a wide variety of colors and color combinations to pick from and also have lots of great project ideas and inspiration to share with you too!

You can find the projects as well as the Noodle Yarn on a front endcap in our Fabrics department. We also have the supply lists and project instructions for the projects we have created on our website - and you can find links to each of them by clicking on the project names below.

Project Ideas: Drawer Projects.

We have another new product (and lots of project ideas using them) at Crafts Direct. These open drawers come in a couple different sizes, come finished and painted in white - and are great pieces to use as a canvas for your next project. The uniqueness of them and re-purpose feel of using a drawer as a display piece is very on trend and will certainly add an extra element of character to your finished project.

You can find the display of drawer projects (as well as the supplies we used on the project samples) on the wall outside of our Vinyl Room. 

We have some great project ideas to share with you below. You can also click through the project name to find a list of supplies and project instructions for each of the samples.

New Products: Jar Embellishments.

I shared a little sneak peek of these new items over on Instagram last week - but in case you missed that wanted to share them here as well - and show a little more of the new items we now have available to dress up all your jar projects!

The first line is from Hampton Arts and is called Jar Jewelry - the pieces in the line range greatly - from metal jar lids, to pin cushions, to labels and other embellishments. The decorated lids are really great - and have a wide variety of designs with just this item!

We also have some new pieces from the Transform Mason line - the photo showing just a few - but include stencils, paint, etching cream, wood labels, and jar toppers for yarn and flower arranging.

You can find all of these pieces, along with the other components of the lines - in aisle 21.
