Hey craft lovers — I’d like to introduce you to The Plaid Barn, a daily deals site featuring craft supplies, DIY kits and more!

Each deal has a limited supply, so be sure to sign up for for daily emails to be the first to know about the great deals! {See previous deals on the “past deals” link on the website.} They also have some fabulous raw craft supplies, jewelry kits, scrapbook kits and more lined up for future deals… make sure you’re on their mailing list so you don’t miss out!!!
Something I really love: the finished sets/supplies sold within each daily deal are offered in smaller quantities, which makes them perfect for trying out new crafts + projects.

I would definitely make some cute gift tags…the colored tags would look great with a button glued on them, or the little rose bud flowers. I think I would use the library cards for a cute bulletin board at school – Read Across America Day is coming up (March 2nd)…I need a cute new bulletin board. Maybe an interactive one where my kids use the cards to list favorite book for the month of March (hmmmmmmmm…), now I’m thinking. The elastic bands would look sweet wrapped around a little gift box, with a button or two glued on it. Then, you could leave the gift box plain – no wrapping paper needed! I would love this little kit!!
A button bracelets and some tags for birthday gifts are the first thing that pops into my mind!
i’d love to embellish cards i make and/or decorate my SMASHbook, esp w/those super retro cute library cards…i have headbands in mine w/those pieces of elastic!

I see adorable colorful gift tags! What fun that stash would be….
The Library cards!!!!!!!!! Got my son a date stamp for Christmas and we would have oodles of fun with those cards!!
Definitely make something for the book lover in all of us. What a fun way to share your favorite read by going old school and “checking it out” to someone. I would make a pocket insert for the front inside cover and place the library cards in them. You would be able to see where and to whom the book has traveled. I would tie a piece of the suede cording to a tag in a contrasting color and stamp it with horizontal lines. It would not only be a bookmark, but a way to keep track of words to look up or favorite passages.
The elastic bands are great as wrap-arounds for your journals, especially when embellished with cute buttons and flowers.
As for the kraft paper stickers, I would make a template and run them through my printer with a cute font of my initials or a cheery saying, then use them as envelope seals.
Gussy Sews is on my iGoogle Homepage so I don’t miss anything.
P.S. Have you heard of Pick Your Plum. Same idea as The Plaid Barn. You can never have too many deals!
I would make some earrings and some gift tags.

I know I would make some button earrings, and like many above said some library cards! :)

Bookmarks, scrapbook pages, a fun book/pillow with a card inserted to “check out” the pillow and book for a read and snuggle, I could use the elastic for some of my never ending sewing projects and the kids could likely think up a million ways to use it all as well. No shortage of possibilities!
Those colorful buttons would be perfect for some hoop art!
I would glue the buttons onto the tops of my thumb tacks:)

This is such a great little package! I think I may use the buttons to make a super colorful DIY belt that I saw on Pinterest for my daughter… and the library cards are so fun, perhaps write recipes and display them in the kitchen? The other tags & cords would be great for gift wrapping! eeek so much fun – thanks for the offer!
Oh wow! This is such a cute pack! I’ve really wanted to start making cute tags for gifts, but I haven’t gotten around to it much yet.

I’ve been itching to make cabochon bobby pins for a long time! I’d love to give it a shot. :-) Also, I’m drooling over how many cool places I could use those buttons in my sewing projects…
