Fabric Fusion at Maker Faire!

One of our crafty ambassadors, Angela Daniels, rocked the Maker Faire Swap-O-Rama-Rama last weekend!

She worked in a huge tent filled with piles of donated clothing, that crafty types sorted through, snipped and formed new articles of clothing.

Her responsibility was to show the art of making pretty fabric flowers. Yes, there were sewing machines, but many people opted for the non-stitch method - that's where Aleene's® Fabric Fusion® Permanent Dry Cleanable Fabric Adhesive came to the rescue! 

And for those of you who did not make it to Maker Faire, she has a video tutorial for you!

From Angela:

I had the BEST time at Maker Faire this weekend and all the Fabric Fusion you sent was a big hit AND helped my project go so quickly.

Where Crafty Chica™ goes, glitter follows

This past weekend at Maker Faire, our www.ilovetocreate.com booth was under attack...by glitter! It all started with the Crafty Chica™ glitter canvases. Everyone had a blast pouring tons of Crafty Chica™ Glitters onto each of their canvases, but not all of the glitter ended back into their respective bottles.

Soon glitter started showing up everywhere...on hands:

On purses and bags:

All over the floor:

On phones and cameras:

Yeah, just about everywhere! We can't imagine the reaction of the San Mateo cleanup crew when they saw the remains of our booth area...and by area, we mean the 100 foot radius around it. The bathroom floors weren't spared either. It was covering the floors in there too! Ha!

Even Crafty Chica™ got glittered up when she put Bollywood Blue Crafty Chica™ Glitters into her hair for an impromptu photo shoot. We even noticed a few kids following suit and sprinkling the sparkly flecks into their hair. I'm sure the parents loved that!

But, our booth wouldn't have been the same without the glitter attack. Young and old know it's a craft supply they just simply can't resist!

www.ilovetocreate.com at Maker Faire 2009

We had a blast in our booth at Maker Fair SF Bay Area 2009! There was a LOT of creativity spreading in our booth! There was definitely an element of inspiration surrounding us that could be felt by all in attendance!

The booth itself was packed all day long. Many times, people had to be put on a waiting list in order to do one of the glittery Crafty Chica™ canvases, time capsule tins, or memory journals. No one wants to see a glitter fight break out! Hee hee. Everyone seemed really enthusiastic with their creations and to be working with our fab products. It was so cool to see a 75 year old woman sitting next to a 3 year old working on the same project! We love to see people create and unite in their creativity!

Check out some of our pics from the day!


We were non-stop busy! It was crazy!


Mandy, Maya, and Kathy were hard at work preparing for the crafters!


Our products filled the tables!


Crafty Chica™ created 300 of these canvases for people to do! The cupcake and chihuahuas ran out first.


Maya did tie-dye demos and was totally rockin' it!


What a mess! It just means people were inspired and in the words of Martha, "It's a good thing!".

It was a super busy, inspiring 2 days and we are so glad we were able to connect with makers of all kinds. As we were closing down on Saturday, one lady said, "What a nice way to end our day at the Faire!" We are so appreciative to all those who attended and crafted with us!
