My reviews are based on my personal experience with a product or event. I am not a professional product tester nor do I get paid for any of my blog posts.

The items that I post reviews on, have either been purchased on the internet or through a local vendor. Additionally I will review items that I got on sale, as a gift or as a sample from either the manufacurer or some other source.

Note: always read the manufacturers directions on how to properly use a product and craft carefully. Additionally, I am an Amazon Associate and may earn a few cents (literally) from your clicking on my Amazon links. Since they raised the minimum payout from earnings to $10 I haven't seen a credit for a while but eventually I will get one.

Every penny counts when trying to set a budget to get supplies to use for my reviews, tutorials and hauls. However, you do not have to use my links. You can use your favorite search engine to find the best price for your budget.

Scented Duct Tape Review & A Duck Tape Rose Valentine's Day Project


The Duck Tape Brand Company their new line of Duck Brand Scents Duct Tape for crafters to have some creative and scented fun with.  They have added scents to their Duct Tape in fun kid orientated themes.  I have always been a fan of Duct Tape because it can be used for quick household repairs and a variety of crafting uses.  Adding scent to their crafting line of tapes make sense.  Now I would not use this tape for household repairs because it costs more than regular Duck Tape does.  However, it is great for when you want to create a fun floral project that would only be enhanced with the addition of scent.

The new line features several new scents like bubble gum,

cupcake, grape, lemon,

mint, and orange cream.

If you are not a crafter, you may not understand why this is so fun.  A great example of how a crafter could use this is for easy craft projects is the "Duck Tape Roses" project by Carolina Moore.  This could be an easy and cool valentines day project for the kids of all ages to try.
Duck Tape Rose by Carolina Moore of the "30 Minute Crafts" blog

In the FaveCrafts Video Below "Carolina Moore from 30 Minute Crafts demonstrates how easy, fun, and inexpensive it is to create these decorative Duct Tape Roses".




You can also find great step by step directions and photo's on her blog "30 Minute Crafts".  She also features many other great crafts that can be done in under 30 minutes.

Additionally, you don't have to make the entire rose. You can just cut out a few of the shapes and tape them down onto a card to make a simple dimensional rose Valentine's Card.  I would use a button for the center of the rose on the card or a cut out circle with a poem written on it.  Basically, you can use the techniques she teaches to create a lot of different projects.





CHA Show 2015 | My Top Favorite Product: 3D Bracelet Wire Jig

This the CHA Show had some interesting companies competing for the Hot New Product award, so I thought I would share a few of them with you over the next week.

The first is the Artistic Wire 3D Bracelet Jig with 20 Pegs, and Holder Tubes that I thought was a fabulous product for jewelry making.


The new Artistic Wire 3D Bracelet Jig with 20 Pegs, and Holder Tubes is the perfect tool to create bangle Bracelets, Cuff Bracelets, and other curved jewelry components.  You can create your design in the round.  Thus creating continuous hand made bracelet pieces.  Additionally, the jig can be used to create hoop earrings, curved earring designs, and curved bracelet elements.  The Jig itself is around 6.9cm in diameter, which creates a 2.75 inch diameter piece. It has evenly spaced rows and columns of holes, which hold the 20 pegs, and fasteners that are included in the kit.




As you can see in the video, the Jig is easy to use; you just secure each peg by attaching the fastener from the inside of the circle.  Then wrap the wire around to create your design.  The Artistic Wire 3D Bracelet Jig with 20 Pegs, and Holder Tubes will be available on Amazon and stores in the next few months.
