Autumn days signal the return to spending more time indoors which means more time for craft.  If you are getting your Christmas pressie list in order, we have lots of lovely new stock coming in.  We have our sought after coasters to decoupage, just £1.70 each.  Hand painted pottery makes a lovely gift too, from assorted ornaments to hang on the tree at £4 each to teapots at £20 each and lots of lovely things inbetween.  Have a look at our gallery for ideas and inspiration.

These guys visited us as a summer holiday treat! Read for yourself what they thought…

If you’re doing some gardening this summer, mark your veg patch in style – paint or decoupage some wooden flags and they’ll look as beautiful as the rest of your garden. (£1.85 for a pack of ten flags)

Why not show off all that hard work by throwing a garden party? Some strategically placed tea lights will add a magical feel to your garden in the evening. Some glass tea light holders (£3.50 each) with a splash of glass paint or some decoupage will make them look extra special. You could even welcome your guests with flower garlands, Hawaiian style! (Packs of petals £1 each)

Has Will and Kate’s wedding left you with a taste for something regal? Make a crown of your own – tiara bases are £2 each if you fancy some beading, or cardboard crowns are £1.99 each and ideal for painting or decoupaging.

If you’ve got other weddings coming up this summer, give a more personal gift. Decorate the initials of the happy couple (letters £6.25 each), or perhaps paint a plate or a bowl to commemorate their special day (starting at £7).

Looking for something to do on rainy summer days? We have plenty of kits for kids: make your own doll (£9.99), decoupage a picture frame (£8.99), paint a fabric bag (£9.99) and much more! They also make great gifts.

Happy making!
