Spring/Summer - 2003 CRAFTY VISIONS Newsletter Published by World Wide Visions   Laurieann's Note Hi Fellow Crafters, Spring has come and Summer is almost over! The year has gone by so fast. The Bluebonnet Crafters (http://BluebonnetVillage.com) have put together another great newsletter full of fun crafts that you can enjoy the rest of the summer. Don't forget to checkout the Craft Tips below as well as the Classified Ads for great deals of craft items. And please visit our contruibutors web sites. Sincerely, Craft Tips 1. If you spill your beads on the floor, the easy way to pick them up is to pull a stocking over the end of the vacuum cleaner hose and beads can be sucked up onto it. Works for pins, too. 2. For quiet Kid Craft Classes: Take a bag of lolipops to class with you. When the class gets "chatty" pass them out and tell them to open & stick them in their mouths. It works well for adults too. 3. When working with a few beads dropping them on the sticky side of a lable helps corral them as you work.
