#3 Clay Molding -- From playful beginnings to artisan finishes, our clay products offer a path for every maker. Let the kids explore their imagination with our soft Air-Dry Clay, while teens and adults can master the art of Polymer Clay or Modeling Clay. It’s the perfect medium for crafting functional jewelry or statement display pieces.

#4 Punch Needle -- If you love the look of intricate rugs and cozy textures but don't have the patience for traditional embroidery, Punch Needle is your new best friend. It’s often called "painting with thread," making it the perfect hobby for the "Stitch Striver" who wants high-impact results with a low learning curve. Check our different Punch Needle designs. 

 

 

#5 Diamond Painting -- Diamond painting is a form of mosaic art that uses "drills" (tiny, faceted resin beads) to create a shimmering, 3D image. Think of it as a cross between cross-stitch and paint-by-numbers, but with a serious "Glow Up."  A lot designs available in our stores for you to finish!
