CraZy TACKz Event: Portland, Oregon

Hello Friends,

It has been almost a month since the last post.  Where does time fly to?  Summer is almost upon us and it is the season to plant and toil.  Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Week-end!

Gordie Murphy, CraZy TACKz Inventor

The 9th of June (one week from this coming Saturday), we will be at Fabric Depot in Portland for a CraZy TACKz event.  Our inventor, Gordie Murphy, will be making an appearance and will probably be happy to sign a few boxes of his new, patented invention, CraZy TACKz.  You can say you saw them here first!

We have put together a Make-N-Take project featuring CraZy TACKz.  I am attaching a few pictures of sample projects we will be showing at the event to feature a fun and easy application for using CraZy TACKz in a wall hanging or for wall decor'.

The flowers and shapes are made from Chenille stems.  There is a little more technique involved to get the final result and we will be giving our customers a chance to learn the technique and apply it to their own creation.

There will be something for adults and for kids.  The following are some samples of what we will be showing at the June event.  Come and join us if you are within driving distance!  I will post once more with details as it gets closer.

These shapes are made from the chenille stems and the decorated Tackz are attached to the board.  The hooks on the Tackz can be used to hang jewelry, keys, mementos, etc.  Below are some more ideas using the chenille stems.

The round posies shown above will be the featured Make-N-Take at our event.  Come and make one for free!  Take home some new ideas as well! Below are a few more samples.

There ya go!  That is it for today.  Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 9th, 2012.  

Hope to see you there!

Happy Crafting!

FUN WITH CraZy TACKz!

Hello Friends!  Hope you are having a good day today!  I am enjoying all of the beautiful green that comes this time of year in the Pacific Northwest...just waiting for some sunshine! 

I have a fun and quick technique to show you.  Gordie Murphy, the inventor of CraZy TACKz also has a business called "Teaching Made Easier".  He was attending a trade show recently and was introduced to a product by Elmer's Glue, a variety of glitter glues and shiny colored glues.  Being a resourceful guy, he grabbed a box he had handy, (recycle project), and poked a bunch of clear CraZy TACKz into the box.  Then, he quickly applied different colors of the glitter glue to the stoppers of the tackz!  It had to be quick, or he wouldn't have done it!  So, the end result were glittered and colorful tackz ready to be used directly in chosen surface, or to be further embellished with paper punches, etc.  For some embellishment ideas, check out the crafts section of the website at http://www.crazytackz.com/.  There will be lots more ideas posted on the website as time goes on.  So check back frequently!

Below is a picture of Gordie's decorated CraZy TACKz!  This is a primo Create It Yourself project!

This is a super big close-up, but I want you to get a good look at the product on the tackz.
