Some Crafty Projects and DIY Tutorials

Pinterest is filled with SO many DIY projects, that it will be fun to do some research and expand your product line for 2013. 

Use these next few months to perfect some new items that will help you sell more at shows. 

With this also comes some fierce competition. Other crafters have the same access to these crafty ideas as you do, so just make sure to use your found DIY ideas and make them your own. Let higher quality materials, a cute display, and a cohesive product line set you apart. 

Here are just a few DIY ideas that I think would be perfect for the upcoming craft season, that starts in a few, short months!


Button Magnets are SO easy and would be fun to display on a vintage metal tray


Embellished Coasters - You could use a paint pen, ceramic marker, or even screen printing! 

For more idea, visit my DIY board on Pinterest...
Happy Crafting!

Uimi Products and Displays, and a Design Files Video

Without further adieu, I have this to show you!

The Design Files Open House 2012 from The Design Files on Vimeo.

The Design Files put this video together, and it is just pure bliss :) They curated different items from artists in Australia, and put them together in an open house. Not just any open house, though. They actually cleared an actual home, and put the work in it, on display as if it were a gallery. Very cool!

It sure looks like it took a ton of people to put something like this together, and I really commend them on this great job.




And here is one of the companies they featured, Uimi. Such a cute way of displaying things! It looks like they actually just have one of each item on display, on light bright shelving. I love this display idea! It is so inspiring. 


What an inspiration!!! Uimi is really doing things right :)

Lake Bluff Park overlooking Lake Michigan. Our mission is “Bringing People and Art Together.” Our goals include:
Providing high quality art to the Midwest,
Providing a nurturing environment for the artists,
To be considered one of the best fine-art/fine craft fairs in the country and
To provide jurying by judges who are “experts in their fields.”

The Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff is the largest fund raiser for the Krasl Art Center's general education programs
and exhibitions.
Once a “clothesline art fair” in the early 1960s, Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff has become a nationally recognized
and critically acclaimed event by artists, experts and patrons. The Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff continues to
attract high-quality artists.

The success of last year’s event garnered the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff an increased ranking from #24 to
#20 on Sunshine Artist’s list of “200 Best” fine art fairs. Among the reasons for this noteworthy ranking,
Sunshine Artist magazine mentioned one painter who “wished that they had brought more art to sell”.
Another artist noted, “I’ve been working fulltime doing art festivals for more than 20 years. I’ve never
been treated so well at any other show... artists are treated like royalty”. Moreover, Greg Lawler’s
Art Fair Source Book gave in 2011 a rating of 8 out of 10 and a 32nd ranking with average sales of
 $4,704 to the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff based on sales as reported by artists.
(We do not have 2012 information to date.)

The Krasl Art Center (KAC) is proud of these rankings and is excited by all of the positive feedback
we continue to receive from the press, our dedicated volunteers, talented artists, and the community.
“The city of St. Joseph, along with the surrounding communities and businesses, should take pride
 in their contribution to the ranking of the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff. Our continued success is due
 in-part to the enthusiasm, support and hospitality of the community.” Sara Shambarger, Director of the Krasl Art Fair.
