<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The February/March 2013 issue of Consumer Reports SHOPSMART magazine shared some interesting statistics about the increasing interest in buying American made goods.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">According to a recent survey of 1,000 Americans, 78 % say they would prefer to buy products in the U.S.; 89 % said they would be willing to pay more for them.</span></div>

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Another report, "Made in America, Again" by the Boston Consulting Group, states that Americans are willing to a premium of 10 to 60 % on a variety of goods if they know they're made in the U.S. Even Apple said last year that it would bring home some of its Mac production from China, and General Electric made a similar move in 2010.</span></div>

We at Beacon are proud that our glues have always met the highest quality standards while continuing to hire a local workforce.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> This past January Beacon exhibited at the Winter Craft & Hobby Association Conference & Trade Show that was held in Anaheim, CA. We who live on the East Coast were looking forward to escaping to a warmer climate but, much to our surprise, it was bitterly cold, windy and gloomy for most of the week we were there.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> The CHA Show is a trade show open only to retailers, distributors, wholesalers, and professional designers as compared to a consumer show which is open to the public. The consumer shows allows for the direct sale of product to anybody who wishes to buy some. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> We always enjoy demonstrating Beacon’s superior glues by offering CHA attendees the opportunity to do a make-take. They actually sit down at our booth and create a unique project of their own design rather than just a “cookie cutter craft” that everyone makes exactly alike.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> This make-take project of a felt clutch bag was hugely successful as you can see from these delighted attendees who are showing off their handiwork.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> The fantastic handle clutches are from the Feltables line from the New Image Company, www.newimageco.com,and are decorated with the gorgeous flowers from Prima Marketing, www.primamarketinginc.com, along with assorted ribbons and trims as embellishments. The clutches are available in a choice of three colors: heather gray, turquoise, or fuschia.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The current issue of Craft Industry Today, the Craft & Hobby Association's official magazine, features many informative articles for anyone involved in the creative industry. We're delighted that Beacon's Quick Grip is pictured in an Instant Glam Necklace design by Fernando. Fernando will also be teaching an Instant Glam Necklace class at the CHA Winter Show in Anaheim, CA this week. As you can see, Quick Grip is Fernando's glue of choice for this fabulous necklace.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Beacon recently partnered with My Craft Channel to offer their viewers a special Glue & Goodies Gift Basket worth over $200.00. Almost 6,000 people entered the contest and Terri Harmon from Michigan won. Here’s her response after winning:</span><br />

Shorn Mitchell, a Beacon staff member, was inspired to decorate the interior of her beloved BMW using Swavorski crystals and Gem-Tac Embellishing Glue with spectacular results. We love the unique look she created to personalize her car. Gem-Tac has permanently held the crystals in place through sizzling summer days and now freezing temperatures. Gem-Tac is also great for embellishing costumes, rodeo shirts, swimsuits, gowns, handbags, headbands, cell phones and just about anything else that needs a bit of glitz. Reach for Gem-Tac anytime you need to add a bit of glitz & glamour to a project.<br />

My husband Charles was recently installing a new window just before we were slammed by Hurricane Sandy. The idea was to replace a drafty, poorly made window that dated back to when the house was constructed in1910. Unfortunately, all did not go well when he dropped the new window. Amazingly, the glass did not break but the plastic frame shattered in several places. It was not a happy moment.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, we have GLASS, METAL & MORE on hand and my husband began to piece the window together, glueing & clamping as he went. Within a few hours, the window was installed and the damage was not even visible. We both breathed a sigh of relief that we didn't have to invest in a new window as GLASS, METAL & MORE did a beautiful job, the perfect choice for keeping things together when they fall apart!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348336802404913104.post-64398674508409853912012-12-05T19:31:00.002-08:002012-12-05T19:37:13.549-08:00Melissa Frances Loves Beacon Glue!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

MELISSA FRANCES launched her HEART & HOME giftware and home decor line in 1996, creating paper mache boxes and shapes with charming vintage looking art labels. The vintage line was so popular that customers began requesting the labels for their own craft projects... and Melissa's beautiful scrapbook line was born. Once the labels were massed produced, scrapbookers and scrapbook publications discovered them and shared their enthusiasm with the market. In the Spring of 2004, Melissa expanded and introduced a full scrapbook line including papers, embellishments, ribbons, trims, house kits, albums, and so much more.</div>

<i>Can I use PATCH ATTACH on a nylon sports jacket?</i><br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Glue Gal speakls: Not a good idea! Patch Attach is a glue that is activated by a hot iron and cannot be used on nylon, leather, satin, certain synthetic blends, or shear and delicate fabrics that will either "melt" or be scorched by heat. Patch Attach is great on denim, cotton, felt, and other natural fibers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>When I opened a bottle of Patch Attach, I was surprised to find that it had no stickiness and was just a white powder. Did I get a defective bottle?</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Glue Gal speaks: Patch Attach's formula is supposed to be powdery and non-sticky until it's heat set with a hot iron on a cotton or linen setting. Until heat is applied, the "magic" doesn't happen! However, once adequate heat is applied the glue is permanent, both washable and dry cleanable, and cannot be removed.</div>

For almost 90 years, Beacon has been an innovative leader in the development of unique, award-winning adhesives for diverse industries from craft to construction.<br />
<br />
Beacon was founded in 1926 by David Meshirer as Beacon Chemical Company in New York City as a supplier to the millinery business, specifically making fabric sizings and stiffeners as well as distributing other hat making supplies. Prior to World War II, it was fashionable and proper for both men and women to always wear a hat whenever out of the house. As a result, Beacon's business boomed.<br />
<br />
After the war, hat wearing took a dramatic decline but Beacon continued to expand into other types of adhesive products including many industrial epoxies. In 1956, Beacon's owner Mickey Meshirer, David's son, an accomplished and creative chemist, formulated FABRI-TAC, the first and still absolutely the best fabric and craft adhesive on the market today.<br />
<br />
Fabri-Tac was dramatically different from any other glue because of its strength, clarity, and versatility. Unlike the typical white glue that was pretty much the only choice back then, Fabri-Tac revolutionized how glue was perceived and certainly expanded the way in which glue was used.<br />
<br />
After Fabri-Tac's enormous success, Beacon developed many other exciting glues including Gem-Tac Embellishing Glue, Beacon 527, Zip Dry Paper Glue, 3-In-1 Advanced Craft Glue, Dazzle-Tac Jewelry Glue, Fast Finish Decoupage, and Quick Grip. <br />
<br />
The third generation of the Meshirer family, Mickey's son David and daughter Debbie, are continuing the Beacon tradition of excellency and innovation. Mickey is still creating many new formulations in the lab while David and Debbie are expanding the company both here in the United States and abroad.<br />
<br />
All of Beacon's products are PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA!<br />

Use all wood or all paper beads in a color family for a
necklace. String wood and spacer beads onto elastic cord for a matching
bracelet. Vary the shape of the paper strips for differently shaped paper
beads. Thread the beads onto ribbon, leather or yarn for a different look. Add
glass, ceramic or other reclaimed beads for additional sparkle.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I had the privilege of
interviewing designer Susan I. Jones about her extensive career in the craft
and hobby industry. Susan has worked in almost every medium including
needlework, jewelry design, wearables, quilting, fashion and paper crafts.
Susan lives in Austin, TX with her husband Skip and four cats.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
WHAT INSPIRES YOU AS A DESIGNER?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Inspiration is everywhere I look—colors, patterns, texture
and forms, indoors and out, as well as in magazines, fashion, home décor and
even media fire my imagination. I like the challenge a specific design project
brings which usually begins with either form or function, or sometimes
both. Using materials that are not
always compatible with my personal taste requires me to leave my comfort zone
and personal preferences behind while keeping my designs fresh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A DESIGNER?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Always! It’s sort of like being born that way. Although my
emphasis on different crafts changes, I’ve always been fascinated with making
“stuff” out of “other” stuff.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PUBLISHED?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, in many different magazines, books, and on the web.
Some of these publications include Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine, Clotilde’s
Sewing Saavy, Vogue Patterns, C & T Publishing, Quarry Books, and many
more.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
WHAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I can teach my design methods and processes and the
student adds her/his own style to the finished project. It’s always exciting to
see a personal twist added to my design. I love presiding over Make-Takes at
trade shows for that reason.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ARE THERE ANY CURRENT TRENDS THAT YOU FEEL ARE IMPORTANT?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think it’s important to notice current color trends. If
your design consists of traditional techniques in colors that look “dated”, then
your project will look dated too. Color trends are probably the easiest way to
update your projects. Shapes and forms are important for the same reason. Think
of the “retro” trend popular now and in the past year or so. The colors,
shapes, and forms are very specific with a nod to the present. Some techniques are
ageless and can be refreshed by updating material, color, shape or general
execution to drag it into this millennium!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD ABOUT YOUR WORK OR THE INDUSTRY?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everyone is a designer. Each outfit you put on and
accessorize, you’ve designed. Every dinner table set for company is your
design. Your home, garden, and gift wraps are designed by you! I experiment
constantly as in “what if I combine this with this?” Sometimes it doesn’t work
and sometimes I get an entirely accidental success!<o:p></o:p></div>

I know it might seem early, but by late July, I am sick of summer and ready to start fall crafting! Add to that the fantastic Halloween and Christmas products that were released at CHA last week and you can see why I was so excited to create this project.<br />
<br />

This little Halloween piece was featured in the Sizzix booth. It all
began as a lowly paper mache box from my local craft store. It makes an
adorable decoration when closed, but reveals a fun surprise when opened.
I hope you enjoy it!<br />

Begin by covering the outside of a paper mache box with patterned paper

Color a length of Idea-ology Trimmings ribbon with Spiced Marmalade
Distress ink. Sandwich the ribbon between the decorated circle and the
plain circle. Adhere with Scotch Tape Glider. Cut a slit in the center
of two of the Rosette centers that were cut from black Kraft Core.
Insert the ribbon and adhere to the back. Do this for the top and
bottom. That will be how we attach the banner to the inside of the box.<br />

To create the little Halloween tree, dye an Idea-ology Woodlands tree
with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink. Cut several bats from black Kraft
Core using the Mini Bat die. Sand the edges lightly and adhere to tree
using Beacon 3-in-1 glue.<br />
<br />

To assemble the box, adhere the last of the Halloween paper circles to
the center of the box lid. Add a black rosette and attach the decorated
tree to the center. Cut a banner from kraft cardstock using the Tattered
Banners Strip Die. Stamp sentiment using black ink and add to rosette
as shown. Attach the spider to the painted candlestick and adhere
candlestick to bottom of box using Beacon glue.<br />
<br />

To attach the banner to the box, apply Beacon 3-in-1 glue to the Paper
Rosette center and adhere to center of box. Repeat with the top of the
ribbon, this time adhering it to the center of the lid. When the box is
closed, the rosette circles will fall into place, accordion-style.<br />
