Craftzilla Reviews MyPod Magic
Have you Mod Podged yet? It's pretty much one of my favorite finishes for any project. I have lathered it on top of paintings for extra texture, given bangles some much-needed gloss, and even dabbed some on my scrapbook page titles and brads. Mod Podge gives great dimension to just about any crafting project, and just when you thought it… ![]()
Handmade Jewelry from Etsy
My jewelry box is an eclectic assortment of new and vintage, store bought and handmade, metal, fabric, glass and even a few wooden pieces scattered in. I spent my childhood exploring my grandmother's jewelry chest and layering on the jewelry until I could barely lift my arms. I would make my own necklaces out of daisies, paper clips, and anything… ![]()
Cricut Create Machine
Ah the Cricut, you've seen the infomercials, seen the demos and walked by them in numerous craft stores. Perhaps you have one yourself, be it the fancier Cricut Expression or the basic Cricut Personal Cutting Machine. Craftzilla picked up a Cricut Create Machine over the Black Friday holiday rush and is finally ready to talk about. Mostly due to lack… ![]()

Jo Ann Fabric and Craft Stores
As a huge national chain of stores, Jo Ann's has done well for its' self in terms of consistency across stores, selection and employee know-how. Each time I have ever set foot in a Jo Ann's be it west or east coast, the employees consistently knew the stock and layout of the stores and the in particular the cutting counter… ![]()
Ben Franklin: Not the Electricity Guy
Ben Franklin is indeed an odd name for an arts and crafts supply store, yet here we are. True the name was selected in honor of the man himself (the eletricity guy) but each Ben Franklin store is independently owned and operated. It is however, the closest that I have ever come to when it comes to searching for a… ![]()
Michael's The Arts and Crafts store
I guess the real question is who hasn't been to Michael's at some point in their crafting career? Being one of the largest nationwide retailers of all things crafty, it's hard to avoid them. Particularly if you need something now, many of it, or are just in an area where those smaller independent stores aren't. Personally I heart the independent… ![]()
Creative Wholesale
The Creative Wholesale site is messy, organized strangely and seems almost suspicious sometimes to buy from. But- if you can get past that and know what you want, it's a great bargain. For example, I wanted to purchase Easy Cast Epoxy Resin and didn't want to purchase it in my local store due to the fact that it was astronomically… ![]()
Woodcrafter
Woodcrafter.com is a great site if you're going to be ordering several things at once. Which in their case isn't much of an issue as they have a very large and extensive inventory that reaches into all corners of the crafting universe. The drawback to that many products however, is it tends to make their site a little on the… ![]()
Crafty Bags for Stylish Girls
Thanks to Cuteable for the book review on: Crafty Bags for Stylish Girls. There are some choice close up pictures of some VERY cute and unique bags, that the author created all using a glue gun or craft glue! Personally, when you look at the bags you won't believe it. They are serious works of art, but this Craftzilla is… ![]()
