Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts
1) Paint & Finish Preservation Spray
Argon gas makes for a better approach to leftover paint storage. It keeps oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains in freshly-opened-can shape and looking like new. A spray of argon gas creates a barrier between the liquid and the air inside an open can. This prevents the finish from curing, yellowing, or skinning-over. Argon is non-toxic, non-flammable, and inert, so it won’t react to other chemicals.
2) Design & Create Potholder Loom Kit
Friendly Loom™ by Harrisville Designs: Design & Create Potholder Loom Kit - PRO
3) Collapsible Dolly
The Dozop Collapsible Dolly makes moves both big and small much easier. It’s lightweight (under five pounds) and easy to assemble (takes around a minute) without needing any tools to put it together. The dolly can handle up to 250 pounds of what you need to move and inline skate wheels boost maneuverability over carpet and uneven surfaces. Parts are stored inside the self-contained design to compactly stow away between jobs.
