Our first show for May!

The months are going by so fast! If you're graduating or know someone who is, I bet you're thinking the same thing! Well, this month we have a lot of fun ideas for your graduates!

 We start the show with our Beader Extradonairre, Gayle! She shows us how to make a beaded grad cap! You can use any size beads but Gayle uses large beads so we all can see better!

Then, we have one of our HM High Board members, Sarah, who is a Senior at Leilehua High School! Sarah shows us how to put together a great Memory Jar.

One of the great things we have in our stores are the HM High stickers. Kurt and Aleya shows us some fun ideas you can use these stickers for.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can tune it to get some ideas for your graduates!

Time for our Second April show!

We have some fun projects for you on the second April Joy of Crafting show!

Julie from Enchanted Lake BFC is back with a great idea for Mother's Day. An easy beaded bracelet.

Next , we have a new face to the show with Amber Harrison from Market City BFC.

Amber shows two different techniques that she uses on a glass Ivy Bowl centerpiece. We'll learn about glass etching and also using stencils with Alcohol Inks!

Then, Colleen is back with an easy crochet lei. It looks really great when you use the ombre yarns like Colleen did!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you'll have a great week!

HM High, We Love it, too!

It was really great to see HM High Stickers chosen as one of the 5 things the Star Advertiser Loves about Graduation.

Since their debut last year, HM High stickers have been a hit!

 Hawaii peeps have been using them for so many different projects, like graduation, of course. It's so easy to make a lei by attaching a pack of HM High stickers to a lanyard. Alumni like them for their class reunions, too. Hawaii people always love a good party and we have lots of school pride.

Hilo High really loved their logo design. So much, that they used it for the school's new gym floor!

So, when you're thinking of what to do this graduation, stop by and check these stickers out!

Thanks, for stopping by today and hope your week is going great!

April Showers Brings May Flowers!

You know that old saying...well here's my twist. April brings Showers of craft ideas with a new Joy of Crafting episode. They may not be flowers but the lei are close!

Our first guest crafter is new to the show but if you've been over to Enchanted Lake, then you already know Julie Bolos!

Julie shows us how to take mason jars and create them into a fun Grad Cap centerpiece!

Then, one of our favorite lei makers, Gloria Arias from Pearl City, gets us ready for graduation and other celebrations with an overview on four types of 3-straw lei!

From Mapunapuna, we have Colleen Mossman, who shows us how to make a cute grad cap favor out of cardstock. These would go great with Julie's jars!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get a chance to catch the show! Happy Crafting!
