A disorderly craft room leads to new discoveries!

Is your crafting area disorderly? Well sometimes that is not a bad thing as it may lead to new discoveries. Let me explain...

Over the weekend, I needed some texture paste. I typically order on line, but I was working on a project now and didn't want to wait for it to ship. I decided to check out my local hobby lobby to see what I could find.  I found some Paintable texture paste from DecoArt. I had never used this product before, but I thought it was worth a try and I did have a 40% off coupon.

Well it goes to show you that you sometimes need to step out of what you are use to and try something new. I loved this product. It was not as thick as the paste I typically use, but I liked that because it made it easier to stamp on.

I also discovered this Natural Pigment that when mixed into your paste, created a great Earth tone color.  This product is typically used for models and miniatures, but now I found a new use for it.

DIY hot glue gun holder

Hi everyone and happy Friday...Finally! I wanted to share with you a couple of glue gun holders that I made for my upcoming craft show. These stands are great and so easy to  make.

It sits perfectly on my craft table and is always ready to go. I keep my glue sticks in a mason jar right next to the stand which seems to work well for me.

I found the directions to make this stand over at Shanty 2 Chick.  I modified it just a bit by getting larger round pegs and tiles.

I used fun colors to bright up any craft room. I have these listed in my Etsy shop and they would make for a great crafty gift as well!

Have fun!
