Loom Bands - Basic Bracelet Video and Make & Take.

Have you joined the Loom Band movement yet?! Here at Crafts Direct we are so excited about them!

What I love most is how very easy it is to make them! We are working on more videos, project sheets and project ideas...and have Make & Takes scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday this weekend from 1-3 where you can come make your own!

 Also to help get you started we have a quick video we posted on Instagram this morning showing the first few steps on how to make a Basic Loom Band bracelet.

Geomesh Wreaths.

Today I want to share with you some of the gorgeous Geomesh Wreaths our Seasonal department have recently created for the Fall and Winter seasons. You can find all of these wreaths displayed in aisle 5 of the Seasonal department, as well as the supplies to create your own.

Even though the styles, themes and 'looks' of each of these wreaths varies greatly, they all follow the same simple techniques. To help you with these basic techniques we have created a project sheet as well as a video with step by step instructions for the Fall Wreath you see below. You can follow these basic instructions to create any of the additional wreath samples - just swap out the different components with pieces that fit the wreath theme you desire. As I say with most projects - if you have the basics the possibilities are endless with what you can create.

A project sheet (and video) for this Fall Geomesh Wreath can be found HERE.

If you have any questions on the wreaths (or techniques) feel free to ask in the comments or stop in to our Seasonal Department-someone would love to help you get started on your own project!

REDNECK PARTY CUP!!

Have you seen our Redneck Party Cups? What looks like a standard red drink cup is actually a Red Party Cup made from a hard durable plastic! On their own, or with a candlestick handle these party cups would be perfect for your next outdoor concert, family reunion or just a weekday BBQ. You will definitely have people asking where you found this unique and creative take on the Red Solo Cup. You can find them online or in-store!
