Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) Home Pickling Kit
DIY pickles are easy (and oh-so tasty) with the jarred pickling kit from Curio Spice Co. A Moroccan blend and Madagascar blend and recipes are included to pickle veggies with globally-inspired flavors. The spices are directly sourced from farms and growers to ensure freshness and purity. Includes enough spices to make four jars-worth, and recipes to get you started.
2) Paint & Finish Preservation Spray
Argon gas makes for a better approach to leftover paint storage. It keeps oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains in freshly-opened-can shape and looking like new. A spray of argon gas creates a barrier between the liquid and the air inside an open can. This prevents the finish from curing, yellowing, or skinning-over. Argon is non-toxic, non-flammable, and inert, so it won’t react to other chemicals.
3) Universal Picture Hanging Tool
Perfectly straight and perfectly hung frames thanks to this picture hanging tool. It guides you to place things in the best position without having to measure—and with fewer mistake holes. It’s compatible with different types of hardware, but optimized for wire frames.
4) Paint Can Rim Covers – Set of 2
This paint can drip shield makes sure paint stays put without drips or spills, even when pouring it into a tray. The reusable shields fit any standard one-gallon can and are easy to remove, clean, and reuse. A built-in magnet keeps a firm hold on your brush too.
5) Cordage Making Card
The credit card sized, stainless steel cordage making tool creates rope from plastic bottles. The multifunctional cordage created from this tool can be used for hundreds of tasks including gardening and camping. One 2-liter bottle can create over 50 feet of line. Made in the USA.
