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) Modern Magnetic Letter Board
The Type Set Co.: Modern Magnetic Letter Board - Green
3) Push & Hang Picture Hanging Tool
No hammer needed with this picture hanging system—and no measuring or guesswork, either. Just push and hang. Load one or two brads into the tool, straighten it up (thank you, built-in level), and push to insert them into your wall at the perfect angle and depth. Brads store in the tool to make it an even easier task.
