For those of us that consider any type of crafting a part of everyday life, there is always the question of how to store your supplies in an efficient, easy to find manner, while maximizing space and keeping it ascetically pleasing.
In other words, let’s have a super cute crafty area where we can easily find everything we need!
For YEARS I kept my beautiful china, pressed glass and vintage dishes in my cupboards – they only saw the light of day at Thanksgiving or possibly Christmas. But I was not satisfied. And I decided to start incorporating these pieces into my everyday life.
Then Helmar came into my crafty life and I knew I needed a way to get at these products at any given moment, while still maintaining maximum cuteness!
And here is how I have every craft adhesive I need within arms length at any given time.
I pulled a footed pressed-glass dish out of my cupboard and filled it with all of the Helmar products I use on a daily or weekly basis and placed it on top of my crafting table. Super cute and it is a reminder of my Great Grandma every time I look at it!
And here is a recent layout I created with my big bowl of Helmar and the Scribble Scrabble Sweet & Sour line – these yummy colors are perfect for fall themed layouts! The fabulous trims are from Creative Impressions – LOVE that leaf trim and know I will use A LOT of it!
Complete Supply List:
Helmar 450 Quick Dry (for my paper pieced pumpkin and trims)
