Last month, for the first time, I got to attend
CHA, the
Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show in Anaheim, Ca!! I roomed with my pal
Jaderbomb and we had such a blast, checking out all the amazing
new Craft Products that are coming out this year! One of my favorite new products were these adorable
Mod Melts by
Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza at the
Plaid Booth!! You guys are going to
LOVE these!!
These look so
fun and easy, and if you read my blog, you know I love easy projects!! Anyway,
Mod Melts sticks are a resin type material, that you put in your
hot glue gun, and then then add to one of the
Mod Melt molds. The sticks come in
Opaque and Translucent (aka Milk Glass & Sea Glass). They harden with in minutes, and then you have a super
cute embellishment to use in your projects!
And check out the adorable molds!!! There are some darling frames, flowers, birds and butterflies, and super cute Frenchy set, with a crown, bee, key etc. How fun!
Once you pop them out of the molds, you can
color them with all kinds of different paints! This sample sheet showed everything from
paint, to alcohol ink, to embossing powder, to nail polish! These will add some pizazz to any of your
craft projects, like scrapbooking, jewelry making, or mixed media projects. I could also see them used in your
Home Decor projects, wouldn't they be wonderful on napkin rings, votive holders, frames, or curtain tie backs?!! There not out yet, but
watch for them to arrive in your favorite Craft Supply store this Spring!
I also got to hang out with Cathie and Steve quite a bit at the conference, they were just as fun in real life as they are on TV! Here's a photo of me and Cathie, with
Andrea Currie (winner of TLC's Craft Wars). Andrea and I met online a long time ago, so it was fun to meet her in person finally!
Make sure you
visit Cathie and Steve's Blog for more info on Mod Melts ...
as well as their other awesome products, like these
Hot Glue Gun Helpers!

DeleteBest thing about this is, we all have the "Guns" and now only need the sticks and a mold! It looks fun and I can't wait to try them out. I've enjoyed watching Steve and Kathy on TLC...I thought they were a married couple for a long time. Lol. TFS, Karen. You're one of my Fave Bloggers:)
ReplyDeleteLaura, Yes, so true. And we already know how to use the gun too, so no learning curve there! Thanks for your sweet words!!
Deletexoxo
Like the other commenters I can hardly wait for these to come out. I remember watching Kathy and Steve on their show awhile ago. Do they still do a craft show? Used to love watching them, they made everything fun. The crafting world keeps getting smaller and smaller especially with the internet now. It's amazing what's out there, so glad you featured this today. Good to know about these. Good old Mod Podge huh? They keep on keeping on coming up with more useful and affordable products for crafters. Yeahoo. So glad to get to see this post.
ReplyDeleteYes, there show "Creative Juice" is still on HGTV! It airs on Monday mornings here, check your guide, since it may be different where you live. I'm glad you are excited about these too srpprcrftr, we will all be making some cute things in the Spring!
DeleteThis looks like alot of fun. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteThanks for the feature!!!! HOW FUN!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Cathie & Steve! Everyone is excited to get these!!
DeleteHow amazing this would be if they came out with moulding designs to put on furniture and cupboards (like the would moulding pieces you get)
ReplyDeleteOh, that would be awesome!!
DeleteGreat to see so many hand crafts going on.
ReplyDeletePersonally I make paper cut designs and really enjoy it!
:)
DeleteWhat an innovative product! Love their molds. I'd also like to see a mold for those German dolls. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDarlene, That would be fun!!
DeleteWHAT?? That is the greatest ever....I'm in LOVE with those molds!!! Are they going to make it all the way to Canada?? How fun, and that burn protector, yes please!!!

Hi Jenny, If they sell Mod Podge where you are, then I would think there would be a good chance that you will get them!
