Attention Crafters! Because of the volume of the supplies used to host Craft Night each month, we are going to implement a new pricing policy. Beginning with the April Craft Night, we will be charging an additional $1 PER PERSON to attend craft night. This supply fee will be used to provide you with paint brushes, glues, etc.

HOWEVER! For the April Craft Night, we are offering a special deal to our loyal Crafters. All you have to do is post a pic of one of your favorite crafts that you have done at craft night on our wall and then TAG YOURSELF in that picture and your $1 fee will be waived for April! (You must "like" Craft Carnival on Facebook) Those that signed up and PAID last night will also receive the fee waiver this month!

Pics must be posted before midnight on APRIL 2nd to be eligible.

Wrinkly paper on your blocks? No problem!

The blocks have been so popular for craft night but I have gotten a few complaints about the paper wrinkling. Which I was not happy with and I really wanted to find a solution.

My mom said she had the same problem so she decided to try "craft bond" gluesticks instead. She has had the same blocks on her counter for over 6 months and they aren't wrinkled at all.

Here's how you do it:

Before:


Take a knife and carefully peel the paper off of the block.


If you are careful and patient it will come off very easily.


Use This kind of gluestick:

It must be repositionable!

Smooth out the paper and press down pretty hard until glue is dry.

Ta-da! No more wrinkles!


You can buy the gluesticks at walmart... and probably other places too. There are 3 kinds of the gluesticks so make sure you get repositionable!

We will be buying these gluesticks for craft night from now on, they are a lot more expensive but well worth the cost!
