Hello Dear Readers,

We have been busy introducing many new products and services in our store recently.
Now we are very excited to share the details with you all!

We created Crafty Party Favours for one of my friend's son's Birthday Party. This was customise craft packages where we collated paper craft projects for kids from 3years to 10 years age group. It was nice to create a product/service with consultation from our client (8 year old Birthday Boy)

So we decided to have two different sets of project for two age groups 3yrs - 6yrs and 6yrs n Above.
We included craft projects which are quick and easy to make. Also the end product was something that the kids can use or are proud to show others!

Crafty Party Favours - Customise Craft Package Included the following

1. Blank Greeting cards with matching envelope X 2
2. Ribbons X 3
3. Googly Eyes X 2
4. Multi coloured  A4 size scrapbook papers X 6
5. Instructions  to create 3 -4 projects
6. Packed in White craft paper bag. (The bag can also be decorated)
7. Customised and artistic Name Tags for all guests

All the guests loved to receive a very unique personalised gift bag at the end of the party. Many happy parents called us to thank for such creative projects which their kids can manage to do on their own without creating much mess.

This was very satisfying and fun project for us ! Let us know if we can help you create unique craft packages for any crafts; we love creating tailored packages :)

Sharing some pictures of kids who loved being busy with these crafty favour bags :) Love happy customers, especially when they are so sweet :-)

Happy Crafting!!

The New Begining ...for MISS CRAFTY

Dear Readers,


The spring has sprung and brought new changes to our little blog 'Miss Crafty'. We are starting a new venture to take our love for craft to a next level. Blogging has given us confidence and platform to show case our projects and passion for craft to broader audience.

This experience and appreciation from all the readers as inspired us to launch 'THE CRAFT GALLERY', Your Online Craft Store in October 2012. You can find variety of craft supplies at discounted price for all types of crafts.

We are introducing a unique concept of recycling craft supplies through this store. We would buy the old craft supplies which you may not use anymore and give you credit points / cash to buy other supplies which are relevant to your current hobby. ( more information coming soon...)

You could also find handcrafted products on our website. Moving forward we would extend this service to our customers who wish to sell their handcrafted projects online.

Its exciting going through these changes , being busy cataloguing and photographing our products and getting ready for our Launch in October 2012.

Look forward to your support and love.

Please re subscribe to our RSS FEED and Like our new Facebook Page "The Craft Gallery"

Miss Crafty Fanpage will be closing down shortly, so please like our new page to stay connected.

Happy Crafting
