Craft Focus - June/July 2024 (Issue 103)

BRAINSTORM LIMITED Create N Colour is an exciting new arts and crafts launch for Brainstorm who continue to expand their crafts offering. There are three initial themed packs to collect including Fun Farm Friends, Sea ‘Sational and It’s My Nature. Children can construct cute 3D themed models made from sustainably sourced wood. Simply pop the templates out to assemble and each has footers that can be slotted in so the model can securely stand. Once assembled you can paint them with the refillable water brush and watch the colourful design appear as if by magic. Then just let them dry and the colours will fade and disappear enabling children to decorate their model all over again with no mess. Build, paint with water, leave to dry then repeat. The safe, non-toxic range can even be used on car journeys. The themed sets are available in CDUs of 12 with two assorted styles in each. sales@brainstormltd.co.uk www.brainstormltd.co.uk BRAINSTORM LIMITED Since launching in 2019, the eco-friendly craft brand EUGY has stealthily grown in popularity with sales now surpassing over £10 million at retail in the UK alone. Now instantly recognisable with consumers, EUGY has also recently been awarded ‘Arts and Crafts’ Product of the Year in the Stationery Awards 2024. Distributed exclusively in the UK by Brainstorm Ltd, EUGY was created by New Zealand manufacturer Dodoland and more specifically the brainchild of the company’s founder Hoon. Hoon set about creating a sustainable 3D cardboard animal puzzle that connected people to nature and the wild following a trek to Mount Everest where he saw piles of plastic waste left behind for years to decompose. The UK EUGY range now features a staggering 80 different models which includes four unique Christmas EUGY (available to pre-order for delivery in October). From Whale and Walrus to Penguin and Pangolin, there are lots of EUGY animals to collect and create by following a simple number sequence to build a 3D model made of recyclable card. Brainstorm also offer a range of bespoke sustainably sourced POS for customers which have also helped to maximise sales in store. They can also offer promotional support for EUGY activity days and are working with a number of retailers across the UK to plan events throughout 2024. sales@brainstormltd.co.uk www.brainstormltd.co.uk MOUSELOFT Particularly suited for children’s crafts is Mouseloft’s Quicklets range - a complete kit on 11 count aida, with no back stitch and a wooden hoop to frame the work. mice@mouseloft.co.uk www.mouseloft.co.uk CANAL TOYS The Photo Creator Instant Camera comes equipped with a builtin rechargeable battery, memory card storage, and printing capabilities.
