Let’s get crafting - features fun2make

Sewing, boxed craft sets, craft gifts, foam craft kits No Comments »

The latest issue (the christmas issue) of ‘Let’s get crafting magazine’ features two products from fun2make in its list of the top 18 kiddiecrafts.

The first item listed is our creative hands foam art kit. These contain foam backgrounds with outlines on them, onto which children can stick the foam shapes that come with them. There are also glitter glues in the kit which add a wonderful sparkly effect to the finished picture. Our daughter and her friends have done several of these and love them so much that they have even been hung on their walls. Some are multi-layered and quite complex, so we woould recommend them for children aged 7 and over. Click here for more details.

The second item featured in the magazine is our easy to make fashion bag.

These felt bags are very simple needlework kits, with ready punched holes to make things straightforward for little fingers.

Don’t forget our new christmas products - the festive season wouldn’t be the same without fun2make craft kits!

Normally, fun2make resells on kits that it buys from manufacturers or wholesalers. Occasionally, we tweak them a little where we think the product can be improved, or the instructions made clearer.

This is one of the first product lines that we have put together ourselves, and we’re feeling quite proud of it. It is for older children, teens and adults. It is a little more expensive than our normal beaded kits because it uses the special glass millefiori beads.

The millefiori technique was developed in Murano, Italy. Glass canes are created with an intricate pattern running through the length of the cane. (Like a stick of seaside rock). Small slices of the cane are then cut and formed into beautiful beads, each with a unique design.

Nigella Lawson and cellophane gift bags

TV, craft gifts No Comments »

Last night, on Nigella Express, she made chocolate and pistachio fudge, and put a few chunks into gold star cellophane bags, as presents for friends.

I watched the programme and noticed that the bags she used bore a striking resemblance to the ones we sell here at fun2make.

As soon as the programme finished, the orders started coming in, and they’re still coming in. Luckily, a new load of them had just been delivered to us!

Gold star cellophane bags

A quick challenge for you all - the first 5 people to send us their chocolate and pistachio fudge in a gold star cellophane bag, will get a free pack of 12 gold star cellophane bags and a mystery gift. Get baking!!!
