Description

The listing, Craft Sewing Art BIG destash-per-comment! has ended.

For EACH COMMENT left describing how YOU might put items from this BIG de-stash box to good use, I will describe and add ANOTHER item! ("Fanned ya" doesn't count!) My kids are grown, I have moved my studio to a better location and while unpacking it has become obvious that I'll really never get to use everything!

Although I could never bear to see good things thrown away, with Listia, i can certainly see to it that these things get a good home instead! The 1st to bid, 10th to bid and the1st Runner-up will all get a small package with free shipping when the auction ends as well!

Some of the free things in this box already.....

Belting, Roping & Sequin Appliques
Buttons & Beads& Lace
Elastic, Velcro & Collars
Vintage (but useful) Supplies
Tulle and Fabric Yardage
Needlework (unfinished kits)
Craft Magazines & catalogs
Stickers & Scrapbooking
Wood Crafting & Floral items
Costume Jewelry

And a WHOLE lot more!! (sorry, cutting mat NOT included!)

*Please note that this listing contains vintage and/or used items that may show wear. This is to be expected.
I am allergic to dust, smoke and mold so these items should be fairly free of that kinda stuff!
If you desire insurance, tracking, etc... YOU will have to send extra carefully concealed cash or postal money order to cover it! (sorry, no pay pal yet!) I will pay half the shipping, no matter how big it gets!
I'm kinda busy, so I will catch up to the comments when I can, at least every night when things quiet down!

Requests will be considered! Good Luck!

Questions & Comments

lisarr: thanks! Throwing in a new spool of silver-trimmed, wire-edged ribbon with a patriotic american flag collage design!

I have been making items for babies and kids such as bibs, changing pads,diaper bags and baby clothes. Also make household decorative items and embellish things from thrift stores like lampshades, etc. This sounds like its full of things I could use!

madibella: A dozen giant glue sticks going in the box!

Jun 4th, 2011 at 3:55:01 AM PDT by

With the buttons, I would glue them together and make a flower design with felt backing and use it as the centerpiece for a beaded necklace I've made or a hair clip (yes, I like hair clips hehe).

Jun 3rd, 2011 at 1:59:46 AM PDT by

Another good idea! I have an old shoe-clip that would hang great on a piece of felt!
6" square chunks of felt going in the box!

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:02:07 AM PDT by

10th to bid gets a prize too? Hmmmm....

May 29th, 2011 at 11:09:22 PM PDT by

I'm trying to start selling crafts, and this stash would be perfect- I'm sure I could use everything in it Thanks for offering it!

To mark the passing of a long holiday weekend honoring veterans of USA, I am adding packages of red, white and blue Wright's double-fold bias quilt binding

May 31st, 2011 at 5:17:17 AM PDT by

I would use some of these things for my homemade cardsthat we exchange in my scrapbook club. My mind is going 100 mph thinking of ways I could use these things.

May 31st, 2011 at 5:02:23 PM PDT by

ajpurvis: Antique and old card faces going in...no envelopes but good for collage...and an assortment of pretty canceled stamps

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:25:30 AM PDT by

I absolutely LOVE this! SOO cool! And I love that after 2X years, I still learn something new every day (I had to look up de-stash box).

If I were to win this, I would use the adorable green sequenced flower thingy & make a clip that could go onto a headband or be worn alone.

Jun 3rd, 2011 at 1:57:55 AM PDT by

OK, bananasforbargains, no rules on number of comments! I never thought about making headbands with interchangeable clips! Great idea! Putting in a dozen misc "hair-thingies".

Jun 4th, 2011 at 3:59:17 AM PDT by

I make jewelry out of vintage paper items. Anything of that sort would be awesome, even vintage packaging.

May 29th, 2011 at 8:28:46 PM PDT by

Love vintage trims and would use these to embellish decoupage items! Also the quilted pillow covers I plan to make...

Jun 3rd, 2011 at 9:46:19 AM PDT by

freelin: I was given a hinged antique tin with powdered rouge inside, applicator and original info inside! Never used! Going into the box vacuum packed in plastic!

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:06:13 AM PDT by

I can see the stuff in the photo making a really nifty retro handbag. hmmmm.

Jun 3rd, 2011 at 2:34:41 PM PDT by

stellasensel: Ties stack of retro upholstery fabric scraps going in; Biege with palm leaf print!

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:08:52 AM PDT by

Oooh, I would use it all to make a doll...well almost all. Anything leftover I would make furnishings for my dollhouses. The needelpoints, when finished would be stitched together with others to upholster a chair!!

Jun 3rd, 2011 at 8:38:18 PM PDT by

Carol96: What great ideas! I'm putting in a clear coinpurse with toothpaste caps (great mini lampshades on a Lg bead), mini ceramic coffee cup and other minis for dollhouse scale going in the box!

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:30:55 AM PDT by

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:40:26 AM PDT by

ALL BIDDERS fanned and auctions watched!

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:43:49 AM PDT by

I run a summer camp art program and we would love to use these things in our salvage sewing projects like marionettes, and weaving and sewing and quilting and multimedia mosaics...

Jun 4th, 2011 at 3:23:30 PM PDT by

snorabbit, i'm adding a pile of new pink Styrofoam trays from a deli that went out of business and some eyelash yarns! I love this!

Jun 5th, 2011 at 1:15:06 AM PDT by

Jun 5th, 2011 at 1:14:55 AM PDT by

I'm starting to make dotee dolls and need all sorts of cute buttons and beads and fabrics and such.. This looks great....

Jun 4th, 2011 at 4:41:19 PM PDT by

thisisme... I'm having a lot of fun, too! I wish i could get a sample of everyone's handiwork to feature in my shoppe! I hope we re-auction and share the stuff winners cannot use, also! Old med bottles with mismatched beads sorted by type going in...shells, wood, ceramic, plastic... i get a lot of my supplies from the Senior Services Gift Shop...so it helps them get new things to craft with also!!!

Jun 5th, 2011 at 1:14:12 AM PDT by

Not sure about the evil, dead doll thing... ;-/ but I like everyone's ideas! I have made a t-shirt quilt, they all turn out different. Just make sure you remember that t-shirt material stretches.... that's where I ran into problems. I would all of this stuff for many different crafts I do around the house and at church. We get together to make awesome crafts and teach the 5th & 6th grade girls how to make things using their imaginations!!!!

Jun 4th, 2011 at 10:57:09 PM PDT by

You are brave soonerslvr2002, 2nd & 3rd grade is about my tolerance level, but then, when i subbed (whew) it was for HS re-entry! (a tough crowd) I like the raw-edge look that's so popular right now, and find that hand-basting the t-shirt parts an inch from the raw edge right onto an old quilt, overlapping them at random, keeps the finished shape, looks authentic/rustic, and can be stitched to another new blanket, flannel sheet or whatever for the backing. I use the waistbands from bluejeans for the binding... the hardest part, but well worth the end product in memories! Church groups, summer crafts... Scavenger Hunts! Instructions and sample going in the box for permanent entertainment; a puzzle bottle. Save smooth clear plastic shampoo bottles or peanut butter jars...find objects, seal them in. Print answers on the lid. I saw these on tables in a restaurant!!! FUN

Jun 5th, 2011 at 1:08:13 AM PDT by

My oldest daughter loves to play dress up so the costume jewerly would be nice, and I also love to sew. I have made pillows and curtains for my girl as well as some costumes. Just wondering us any of the fabric you have care bears? I'm doing my youngest's room in them... and I'm obessed. LOL

May 27th, 2011 at 7:16:04 PM PDT by

(FYI: My cutting mats are old and used rejects from a quilting class with the grids worn off in places, the backs with no lines are kinda ok. Good surface for gluing crafts or doing jigsaw puzzles.)

May 26th, 2011 at 10:49:10 AM PDT by

I love these kinds of auctions! i make headbands so I know I will find great things in this lot to make new ones =).

May 26th, 2011 at 11:29:53 AM PDT by
