Jump Rings, Sequins, Glitter & more

Sarah just brought me a basket full of exciting new products that have just arrived in her department (Beads & Basics.)

Darice Colored Wire:
I've been waiting a long time for these - colored jump rings! They are available in assorted colors and sizes and are made of aluminum- so they are very lightweight. There are many adorable projects that can be made using these jump rings (samples to come soon.) Along with the jump rings, Darice has come out with a new line of colored Jewelry Wire. Since the wire is made of aluminum it is also very lightweight, malleable and easy to work with.

Delight Beads:
Introducing the new large hole beads & bracelet from Delight Beads. Grab one of their ready made bracelets, a few of the beads (available in antiqued bands, bejeweled rondelles and shapes) and you'll have a beautiful bracelet in minutes. Personalize for yourself, or for a friend.

Wee Creations:
Take a look at these cute little clay people. (Create your entire family)
Instructions: Choose a large or small base. Choose a head (they fit both bases.) Choose clothing for your wee person - glue all the pieces on with jewelry glue. They make great charm bracelets.

Fancy Sequins:
New Fashion Fancy Sequins have just arrived. Available in adorable shapes (such as birds, butterflies & flowers) and also in fun color assortments. These sequins can be attached to cloth by hand stitching, or with fabric glue. A great addition to any craft project.

Iron-Ons:
Two new styles of iron-ons are now available. The Mode Jolie collection consists of different fabric flower appliques. And the Soft Flex letters are available in many fun designs/colors.

Glue:
Sparke 21 is a new kind of 'wearable liquid glue.' Similar to Scribbles, it can be used to decorate jeans, t-shirts, tote bags, shoes and more. Adhere rhinestones, beads and sequins to surfaces! It's available in both single bottles and multi packs.
Diamond Glaze is a water-based dimensonal adhesive. It can be used directly over artwork for a raised glass-like finish. Thin with water for a lacquer-like finish. Create your own custome colors by adding a small amount of dye ink. Great adhesive for gluing glitter, beads, glass, plactic and vellum to paper.

Gemmies!

Gourmet Gems "Gemmies" are now in the store. Tiny sunflower seeds are covered in chocolate and then candy coated. They are available in 16 fun colors. For the month of July we have them in a mixture of very patriotic colors of red, white, and blue. (Get these while they last!) Eat these delectable treats a few at a time or by the handful. Ask about special ordering colors for weddings, football parties, baby showers, school colors or any other special event.

Warm & Safe

We have brought in a new batting product. After making 4 grand children their quilts and having the thought run across my mind....What if??? I am really excited about this product. We carry it by the yard that is 45 inches in width and also in a packaged piece that measures 45" x 60".

Warm & Safe is inherently and permanently fire retardant- naturally. By the design, the fiber has a high silica content making the fire retardant properties built in from the start. Warm & Safe will not melt, flow or emit toxic gases when exposed to heat and flame. Since Warm & Safe"s fire retardant is inherent it is non-toxic, non-allergenic and does not contain PBDE's

Warm & Safe incredibly soft to the touch and it should make very cozy quilts.

Handmade Embridery Kits By Dimensions

Leah ordered in the cutest kits for those of you who love to embroider. There's 10 styles and each kit comes with fabric with the design printed on it, needle, thread and then to finish it off it includes everything you need to mat and frame the design. These would make really cute gifts for someone who loves to work with their hands.
