Impex is our main
supplier of beads, sequins, toy parts, pipe cleaners, pom
poms, etc. We also carry their superb range of glitter glue
and shakers, together with bumper bags of assorted beads,
sequins and feathers.
For card makers, we have a growing range of
ribbon roses, bows, trims, stick-on decorations, buttons,
punches, card blanks, metallic and holographic stickers. We
have recently added coloured, metallic and novelty A4 card,
backing papers and sticky-backed holographic paper. You will
be pleased to see we have introduced Craft Fabric Scrap Packs
- 50p for a bag of mixed fabric pieces, ideal for a variety of
craft projects or for the kids to play around with.
DMC embroidery threads, for which we carry
the entire colour range, are not only exceptional for
embroidery, but also for friendship bracelets and hair braids
and can be used successfully in battery operated hair
braiders.
New in our craft department are undecorated
MDF frames, in various shapes, which provide a brilliant
activity for bored children (or adults - I certainly enjoyed
doing mine)!!! These would also work well as a theme for a
kid's party. Another great kid's activity is T-Shirt design.
Simply use an old plain T-shirt or a cheap 'Value' one from
Tesco's, buy some Dylon 3D paints in glitter, pearl, gloss or
puff, squeeze directly onto the T-shirt and let your
imagination run wild! Simply dry for 4 hours (or overnight)
and then it's ready to wear and has the benefit of being
washable at 30°.
If you get stuck for crafty ideas to keep the children occupied in the holidays, pop in, we have loads of free activity leaflets to give you fresh inspiration. It really isn't possible to list everything we stock so if there is something you want that hasn't been mentioned, please do not hesitate to contact us.
