Surprises in unexpected places

I admit it, sometimes it doesn't take much to make me happy. Especially when I make a great crafting find in an unexpected place.  That happened to me this week in the stationary store, but before I tell you what I found, a little background.

If you visit this blog regularly, you already know that I love designing purses and boxes that you can open and close to hide treasures inside.  Typically I use velcro dots to hold them closed, but I've found that I usually need to cut the dot to make it small enough to suit my liking (gumming up my scissors in the process), and in many cases it takes a bit of effort to rip the two velcro bits apart once they're attached to the project. Sometimes I end up bending the paper, which does not make me happy.

So I've been looking for a good alternative, and found some magnetic dots at my local Michael's (roughly $6 for a package of about 20 dots) a couple weeks ago.  They're pretty good, but again they're too big for most of my projects, and they're thick and not easy to cut.

So imagine my delight when I came across this at the stationary store a couple days ago, purely by accident:


It's a roll of several feet of magnetic tape, I didn't even know such a thing existed!  It cost about $6 for the roll, same as the aforementioned magnetic dots, and after careful calculation I figure it should last me roughly forever, with the amount I need to use on each project.  

The beauty of this stuff is it's thin, so it's easy to cut into any size I need (the little black rectangle in the picture is a little piece I cut off the roll). It doesn't gum up my scissors when I cut it, and the magnetic pull is strong enough to hold paper together but yet snaps apart very easily too!

You can definitely to see this stuff in my assembly instructions from now on!

New in the 99 Cent Store - Dancing Scarecrow SVG and Scissor Cutz File

Dress up your walls and doors this fall with a lively Dancing Scarecrow. This little guy has 9 joints (neck, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees) which means you can position him just about any way you choose. All the joints are hidden by the scarecrow's clothes. And the best part is, you can use up your paper scraps on his clothes and patches, since he's a scarecrow! :-)

The download includes SVG, MTC and PDF files as well as assembly instructions. The file cuts well on any size mat, depending on your desired finished size. (To cut the Dancing Scarecrow at full size, a 12x12 mat is required.

New: For people without electronic cutters, a scissor cutting file in pdf is also included that can be printed on the 8 1/2 x 11" paper of your choice and cut using scissors or a craft knife.

 The finished scarecrow as sized in the files is approximately 26" tall.
