Shop bought v hand-created using Araldite

Do you ever feel that you often hunt around the shops for what seems like ages, looking for that perfect gift and yet come away with nothing?

And sometimes do you feel the creative touch would be much better?

Have you made any presents before that you thought would be great ideas for others to tackle too, something that inspires you to keep on making perhaps? With Araldite the possibilities are endless.

And Araldite can be used for not only gifts, but events and big occasions throughout the year that can do with the homemade creative touch.

Halloween is a great occasion to create, build and make some really fantastically inspired creepy gifts and decorations for your home and garden.

Christmas needs no introduction – and the sooner you plan what you’d like to make and the sooner you can make it, then Christmas wont have that ‘rushed’ feeling. It also beats having to head into the crammed shops with a zillion other shoppers all after the easy buy option.

Then there are the birthday names of people you know – even a handmade card can say more than a shop bought gift. Using scraps of paper, beads and glitter, you can often find the simplest decorations are the most creative.

Then there are gifts themselves – what about decorating a terracotta flower pot with some ribbon, gluing the ribbon around to ensure a tight fit and putting a brooch or feature piece on the join to hide the ribbon coming together.

If you’ve got an idea that you have made using Araldite or a gift creation coming up you want advice on, it is as simple as dropping us a line and getting in touch.
