Aside from our massive range of dressmaking and quilting fabrics, Calico Laine also stocks products for craft-making, which are popular with all ages; whether you’re a seasoned crafter or you’re helping your young relatives to start crafts for the first time, the best place to start is our Crafts section on our website. In today’s blog, we’ll be talking about a few of the products we have available, so whatever your specialty in craft is, be it bags, jewellery, painting or card-making, we’re bound to have something for you. Cards and Envelopes – The base of every card-making crafts project, we sell cards and envelopes in many different paper sizes to suit your needs. We stock both white and ivory packs, and if you’re thinking of making your own wedding invitations then perhaps take a look at our specialty range, Wedding Inspirations. This section contains cards with different textures and sizes, so whatever look you are going for, you can find it here. Bag Canvas – One of the most recent products that we have added to our stock, our bag canvas is already very popular with customers hoping to make their own bag from scratch as a crafts project. We have a lot of colours available that include neutral shades, and even some bright, unusual colours such as lime green and hot pink. Our bag canvas is 100% cotton and is 150cm/60” wide. Glues and Adhesives – More often than not, a crafts project needs some kind of adhesive, so take a look at our section dedicated to these products; we stock different kinds of glues for all kinds of purposes. If you need something for beads and sequins, then our High Tack Trim It Glue is the best one for you, or if you’re decorating something with acrylic gems then Gem Tac Glue is perfect to use. We also stock more ‘heavy duty’ glues such as Gutermann Textile Glue, and even Spray Adhesives which are suited to larger craft projects as they cover a bigger area. Paints – We stock a large range of acrylic paints which are lovely quality and fantastic to use for all kinds of crafts projects. Our collection includes a massive amount of colours so you will never be short of that perfect shade. We also stock Dylon Fabric Paint and Dylon 3D Colour Fun Effects, which are easy to use on fabrics that you want to add your own design to. Finally, if it’s a bit of glitz that you’re after, we recommend our Iridescent Spray and Sparkle Cans, which are great for adding sparkle to big areas quickly. Jewellery Beads – Jewellery is always a popular gift to give or receive, and with our Gutermann jewellery beads you can put your own personal touch on jewellery by creating your own pieces from scratch. With a huge range of colours and many different types of beads available, there are plenty of items for you to craft your own unique projects, either to keep for yourself or to give to friends and family as a gift.
