Arts and Crafts Supplies Guide: Where to Buy in Osaka

  • Travels, ♥
  • May 7, 2015

It’s definitely difficult not to fall in love with Japan. This year, I headed over to Osaka again for a two-week work & play adventure. Last year, I was still finding and learning my way around the city, so my search for craft supplies was quite limited. This year, I checked out new places and discovered that there was so much I was missing. Since there’s been this great Japan invasion this year, I thought I’d share with you fellow crafter a few of my favorite spots. Here’s quick Arts and Crafts Supplies Guide: Where to buy in Osaka.

I grabbed a few scrap pieces of paper I had lying around.

With a Martha Stewart Edge Punch, I punched along one side.

Then, trying my best to align the scallops, I punched the other edge.

I made sure the strip made it around the candle.

To spice things up a little bit I added a fun polka dot print in the middle of the strip.

Then, I stuck it onto the glass.

Arts and Crafts Supplies Guide: Where to buy in Anchorage, Alaska

  • Travels
  • Jul 16, 2013

I’m back from my 6-week escape from Manila. I spent time with my family in good ol’ Anchorage, Alaska. I was half-expecting myself to burn my money shopping for clothes and accessories, but instead found myself headed home with two checked-in baggage of craft supplies and three additional boxes being sent via cargo.

Anchorage is one of those small quaint towns where crafting isn’t left for lolas alone. Handmade wasn’t a movement, it was an everyday life staple. Here’s a list of my favorite places to crafts spots!

Fiskars and Features

  • May 17, 2012

At 6:38 yesterday morning, a box was delivered to my condo. My Alaska family sent over a box filled with goodies. Pretzel M&M’s. More cupcake liners. And this!

My mom sent me a Fiskars Shapeboss Ultimate Embossing System! I’m too excited for words! I wish I had gotten the box sooner. Not having internet at home for 4 days now has driven me to do non-wired things at home.

I see scrapbook paper abuse in my future.

On another note, Thanks to Candy Magazine and Macy for featuring me!
