Magic Scraps Glitter
A "must have" under $10.00!


There are so many reasons to add Magic Scraps products to your supply kit, but don't forget Magic Scraps Glitter. Design specialist extraordinaire Susan Cobb loves this product. "They have wonderful colors that sparkle and shine, and they go great with patterned papers, either for scrapbooking or card making. They're perfect for the new collage look, too."

Try using their products together. Magic Scraps also creates eyelets, fasteners, sequins, threads: you get the picture! Susan likes to combine their glue and glitter when making card, tag, frame and scrapbook accents. "If you're going for a subtle look, but want a really pretty little sparkle, use their glue-which has a wonderfully fine tip-and outline where you want your design. Then add the glitter. To create an even finer line, run your knife along the edge of the glue before applying the glitter."

If a little dab will do ya, or if you're the glitter "It" girl, this product was designed to inspire your imagination, and can be found at retail craft stores and online for about $8.00!

Create amazing wire embellishments without the hassle. Artistic Wire(tm) has come up with yet another fabulous product for wire-working enthusiasts-the Wire Writer & Jewelry Jig.

"It's nearly impossible to write free-handed with wire, so the writer is a must, and the jig is perfect for creating more intricate designs."

Whether you are a first time wire worker or an expert devotee, this product was designed with the creative spirit in mind, and can be found at many craft retail stores and online for about $15.00!

HomePro LR-adaptable eyeleting, riveting and punching tool
A "treat yourself right" product!


Stop hammering away at those eyelets! If you're making a birthday gift list or just want to treat yourself to something special, the HomePro LR is a must-have designer tool. "This is so much easier than hammering down eyelets with a hammer and punch," says designer Arlene Peterson. "Plus, you avoid the risk of splitting, breaking, mashing or dimpling eyelets, which is all too common and time consuming." Not only will it make the project easier, it will make it faster too. (And you can set eyelets anytime —even when the baby is sleeping!)

Eyelets make great paper crafting embellishments. Try using them on tags to adorn cards, scrapbook pages, gifts, frames, artsy collage projects, or whatever your creative mind originates.

Whether you're a serious tag-aholic or have just set your "eye" on this great tool, it can be found at craft stores or online for about $80.00, including the setter ($54) and tool kit ($25).
