Giant Art Jar, Drawing Kit and Jewelry Making Kit



One of my all-time favorite things to do as a kid was to gather as much bric-a-brac and objects together so I could create all sorts of things-mostly spaceships, toy guns, etc.

 I would plunder my Mom’s junk drawer and pick out buttons, spools, paper clips, wire—anything that I could cobble together so I could feed my imagination.

If the Alex Brands’ ‘Giant Art Jar’ existed when I was a kid it would have been one of my favorite treasure troves.

It has everything: ABC shapes, wooden sticks, google eyes, buttons, colored paper, glitter glue, a glue stick, feathers, scissors, sequence, stickers and more-oh so much more!
It’s a veritable cornucopia of creative art and craft items that will keep kids gluing, cutting, folding, pasting, assembling, taping and enjoying themselves for hours.

What a great way to encourage creativity and allowing a child’s mind and imagination to run wild.

Kids can make their own special jewelry, art, funny objects and things and share them with their friends and family as gifts.

A large plastic jar with a twist on lid, with handle, holds everything a child needs to unlock their imagination.
 

For the child, student or adult the ‘Essential Drawing Set’ is a great way to inexpensively enter the world of art.

As a graphic designer, illustrator and former high school art teacher I can attest that buying art supplies can get expensive.

Once established as an artist’s supply costs can be curtailed a bit because you tend to buy just the supplies you need at the time.

If you are someone who wants to learn many different types of art using various art medium the ‘Essential Drawing Set’ from Alex Brands is the perfect way to do so.

The ‘Drawing Set’ contains everything you need to get started in your drawing adventure.

Erasers, a sandpaper block, charcoal pencils, pastel pencils, sketching sticks, charcoal sticks, a ruler, graphite pencils, of various types, blending sticks, color sticks, a sharpener, a sketch pad and even a drawing mannequin all come securely packaged in foam in a wooden box with hinges and a heavy duty handle.

It makes for an organized art package so young artists minimize the mess and can find what they need easily and quickly.

Using art supplies items seen in the set I was able to make the following drawing with no muss or fuss.


With a little practice and patience you can make your own masterpieces to share and display.

The ‘Shrinky Dinks Sweet Treats Jewelry Making Kit’ brings out the decorator and craftsman in kids and teenagers.


Just color, bake and shrink and future jewelers can make all the bling and glittering necklaces, bracelets and decorations they want.

There’s so much to see and do!  All sorts of sweet goodie shapes can be colored and baked.  Once they finish baking they shrink.  Just look at all the beads and baubles!

 
Everything you need is included: color pencils, shapes, beads and more.  So what are you waiting for?  It’s time to shine and do your bling thing!
