Mutiny Swap #2 - Start cleaning your closet now!!

Donate your leftover and slightly used craft supplies and trade them in for new-to-you supplies. Tried a craft that didn't work out? Donate the supplies to the swap. Is your fabric stash threatening to take over your house? This is a great way to cull the herd. The swap will accept all sorts of supplies and materials from yarn to fabric to paint and beads. Please leave house paint, toxic materials and old clothing at home. Try to bring supplies someone else would love to use, not your musty old fabric sitting in the garage!

If you don't have once loved items to swap, you will still be able to take advantage of the swap by enjoying materials at low, low prices. You will also be able to take part in demonstrations of fun arts and crafts at the booth throughout the day. Learn how to crochet, spin yarn, Gocco print and more! You will also have a chance to win handmade items from Craft Mutiny members in an exciting raffle. Select handmade items by Craft Mutiny members will also be for sale at the swap booth including how-to kits and zines.

For more information about Craft Mutiny or the Supply Swap please contact us at craftmutiny@gmail.com or you can find us at booth 129 at Crafty Bastards on September 28th!

Craft Mutiny @ Crafty Bastards!

You may have noticed our new stuff at Crafty Bastards Silver this year -- kits and a zine! We've got felted soap, hand-sewn pins, and our fave, the pincushion kit -- materials to go along with the first edition of our new zine, the dabbler!

The Dabbler is our newest project with several rad projects you can make with materials from around your house! This issue focuses on bottle caps - what *you* can make, what some other people have made, and some pretty crazy trivia!

This is from a tutorial by http://www.schmaltzycraftsy.com/! And yep - there's a bottlecap in there, holding it all together! :) See details in our zine!

So come by on Saturday and check it all out - drop off some craft supplies and pick up one of these kits and find out what else we have in store for you to try!
