Our Vinyl Project of the Month for April is a now available in store. This month you can pick up the supplies to create this "My Mom" 12x12 Frame. The project only requires three supplies and is very easy for anyone to create - and the results are awesome (and would make a perfect Mother's Day gift!).

Project Ideas: Inlay Frames.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today I have another set of project ideas to share with you - all using our wood inlay frames. These frames come unfinished and have an inlay "opening" of 12x12 so they are perfect for all the different pieces and embellishments we have to alter them in a variety of ways. 

For instance, on the three new samples alone - we used a mirror, a ceramic tile, vinyl, and even chalkboard paint to create three very different pieces with the same base piece. You can find a list of supplies and detailed instructions for each of the projects below by clicking through the project name.

New in Beads & Basics.

Yesterday I shared some of the changes that we recently made to our Beads & Basics department...today I want to share some of the fun new products from around the department!!

We will start with some fun new items for the kiddos - if your kids are like mine you've maybe already heard those dreaded two words of summer break - "I'm bored." If that is the case you may want to stop by and check out this endcap in our Beads & Basics department...we have color by number sets, dry erase marker sets, puzzles, plastic bowling sets...etc. all in fun characters and themes.

We also just got in some of the new sets and boards of the Biggie perler beads. These are perfect for the younger kids that might have a hard time with the smaller perler beads. This is a great activity to keep the little ones busy! (Of course, you can also find the small perler beads in store as well.)

If you have a Webkinz fan in your house - they will be excited to see this new line of Webkinz Rockerz!  We have four of these "Rockerz" available and they are all adorable! Plus playing Webkinz online is always a favorite activity once you get a new animal!

Our jewelry section of the department has a few new items also - including these new Crystal Strands available in a huge selection of colors for only $4.99. You can find them on a middle endcap in the department.

We also have a lot of new items now available with the Snap-n-Style line of jewelry. If you're not familiar with this line - it is jewelry making at its simplest - you purchase the jewelry piece (ring base, bracelet, bobby pins, etc) that you want and then can just interchange the pieces on the base by snapping and unsnapping them on.

 

 

Here is a peek at some of the pieces closeup - so for instance you could purchase the bobby pins on the right and snap the green fabric flower onto them - then just switch it out with the floral piece with your next outfit. Very fun - and very easy!

 In aisle 20, you can also find a few new pieces from Darice, including these fun Pocket Watch pieces.

Finally, a few aisles over (in aisles 15 & 16) you can find some new painting products too.

They include:
New "DecoColor" Paint markers in a wide variety of colors:

Chalkboard paint in a rainbow of colors as well:

 

 Additional colors of the 16oz. studio acrylic paint are now available in aisle 15:

And some new styles and sizes of painting palettes are in aisle 15 as well:

Hope you can make it in soon to check out all the new things in Beads & Basics!!
