I’m not gonna lie. I’m a bit of a craft hoarder. My craft stash rivals many well-appointed craft stores. So it goes without saying that I would be excited about Mindy Mae’s Market, a specialty craft supplies site devoted to great prices on craft finds. Mindy’s Minute Market wants to share the love, so they are giving away a prize pack (worth $150) filled with all kinds of delightful craft supplies! Update: the giveaway is now closed.
I interviewed MMM to see why they wanted to give you some goodies:
How did Mindy Mae’s Market happen?
Our online store started as a means of intervention. We love to craft…we hate to spend…so we would try to justify our purchases by buying BULK. Now we have too much NOT to share.
What makes Mindy’s Minute Market more special than other craft supply shops?
We focus more on awesome products, discounted prices, and fun tutorials that work with the products we sell. We offer craft, decor, accessory and other fun purchases that we find at the cheapest possible price that yes, we’ve bought in bulk.
Ooh, clever! You started a store to deal with your stashes… hmmm… sounds like a good solution for a stash the size of a small country. *cough cough*
Help us…or our husbands may leave us. ;)
So what are you giving away today?
We are giving away a sponsored crafter package- with a retail value of over $150. This may feature items like washi tape, fabric tape, party straws and cups, cupcake liners, flower cabochons, and more.
Update: We Have Our Winner!
MindysMinuteMarket.com is giving one lucky Dollar Store Crafts reader a special prize pack worth over $150 and filled with various craft supply goodies.
To Enter:
1) Check MindysMinuteMarket.com and comment here to tell us what you would do with a supply you see there.
Quick Rules: Residents of USA, 18 and older. Ends on Thursday 5/24/2012 at 11:59 PM. Winner will be announced here in this post on (or about) 5/26/2012.

Melinda Looney
OMG! I would do some awesome projects with all that stuff you see there…and even if it was something else I would scour the internet until I found just the right project for whatever “thing” I wanted to make and then just go for it…If it was washi tape (which I really want to try) then I would probably do a mirror or cover part of a box or cover part of a door in a cool pattern like a a criss cross….or something like that…I get a lot of great ideas from the your site and I am familiar with Mindy Mae’s and have ordered from her before because her prices are awesome!!!!
Shannon

I am a new crafter so this would give me a base supply for anything I might make in the future!

I would use the tags for gift giving, love notes on lunches, etc and the cupcake wrappers when I make my famous gluten free muffins for my hubby and mother-in-law who are celiac. It would brighten their days a lot. But I love all of the stuff on her site! The tape designs are so exciting. I think I would use those for making cards with the girls, and the ric rac for home sewing projects.

Nancy B
I would love the Washi Tape to dress up my laptop keyboard!
Amber
I’ve been thinking I want some of the Cabochon Assortment to put on hair pins and the like. Though the fabric lace tape intrigues me and looks like one of those things I’d get because it looks cool and hold on to for the right project.
MelissaJane
I am daydreaming about ricrac recently. I want to make pillows…maybe edge a lampshade…
Kustom Kissers
One can never have enough washi tape! I use it to decorate everything, especially packages.
Sandi Ramirez
I would use the cupcake cups to create paper flowers, the tapes I would wrap on a foam base to create the base of a wreath. I would then attach the paper flowers to make a summer wreath. I am a doll artist so I would make a doll and then use the additional paper tags on my dolls and the wreath. The custom Address Stamp could be used to spell out words that I would stamp out on the tags and paper bags…. Of course you could cut out the bags and use them as fabric for the dolls clothing as well as hair. The rick rack would be used on the doll’s clothing or as hair. The paper straw I LOVE THEM! I can just see these as my doll’s legs! Of course the obvious thing would be to make a bouquet of flowers using the straw as a steam and attaching the paper flowers to the stop using the paper tape… adding leaves cut from the paper tags.
The Anchor and Balloon charms could be used on dolls as charms but to repurpose them I think a better idea would be to take the Cotton baker’s twine in FOUR different colors and braid it in a very tight braid almost like a French braid…FLAT AND THICK. ADD THE BALLOON THEN CONTINUE ending in a large crystal bead that coordinates with the balloon’s colors. I would make this a wall hanging.
Chelsea V
Love it! All of this would go directly to my classroom…already planning projects for next year!
Macy
I would use the supplies to make Christmas presents for my family. I have a LOT of nieces and nephews. Thanks for the chance to win!
Kris Reynolds
Oh gosh! I am planning a graduation party and birthday party soon after that. The Washi tape and twine could have so many uses. Maybe the invite, or on drink cups. The possibilities are endless. The mason jar lids don’t really need any explanation. Wonderful giveaway.
Michelle
There are a few things I would do…
1. I’ve got a few craft ideas rolling in my head that several items could be used with.
2. I’ve got 2 little girls b-day parties to throw this summer
3. A classroom party for my girls at school next fall these items would be very useful.
4. Finally, all of the above would be shared with our blog readers at sisterseesisterdo.blogspot.com
Thanks!! I’m off to do a little shopping in your market – I’m inspired.

Lisa Godwin
What fun! My daughter’s 5th birthday is coming up so I would use those items to create gift baggies to give away to the little girls in attendance. The cupcake liners would be great for the little candies I’m making, and we can glue the little flowers to the outside of each one. I would create a centerpiece for our table with the big bright flowers and fabric tape, which she would just love! Plus, those mason jar lids and some more fabric tape would make excellent cup holders, attaching small labels around the band with each girls’ name on the front and bright purple cups using those groovy straws. Even if I don’t win, I just got a ton of ideas for our party! Thanks!!

I would use these craft items to make new items for my shop I am planning to do on Facebook. One day I got into making jewelry, and my friends recommended that I make a shop. I’m planning to sell cheap affordable everyday jewelry and I love using ribbons to make them. The other items will come in handy as I think of new jewelry products to make, or I may just give it to my friend who is also deciding to make a shop on Facebook selling plushies.
Sarahanne
I’d love to use the washi tape to brighten up the care packages I send to my bff and to my sister when she goes away to college in a few months. :)

McKenzi Parham
I am a sophomore in college and in the fall I am moving into a townhome! I don’t have a lot of money for decorations so discounts and deals is how I roll! I would use the washi tape and fabric tape to create a living room theme by; decorating my memo board, a centerpiece, and small wall décor. I would use the cupcake liners and straws to create flowers for the centerpiece. I think the cups could make an awesome abstract wall décor! Have a great day! :)
Kelly
The mason jar lids are AWESOME! I would give them to my cousin for her wedding.
GM
I would throw a mini-party for our household and a few close family friends. The theme would be determined by what’s in the kit. I’d love to whip up some cupcakes though. Those are a once a year creation for me.

Rayna
Trying to plan a summer of inexpensive crafts for the kiddos. This would make it SO much easier. And how have I never heard of Mindy’s Minute Market before? Such great stuff!
Cass B
Love love LOVE washi tape and the eight zillion things you can do with it (if you have more than one small and precious roll like me, haha), but THOSE TERRARIUM BOTTLE PENDANTS!! A little bit freaking out over those…maybe a petite pencil and minuscule scroll for penpals? a tiny terrarium? favors or wishes or something for my bestie’s upcoming wedding?
Emma
I’ve actually never been able to splurge on nice washi tape (whee, student loans!), even though I’m constantly lusting over all the cute projects I keep seeing with it. I would probably have a washi tape joy fiesta :)

I’ve been raiding my craft stash for my boys birthday parties, so I could do with some new supplies and some creative inspiration for Camp Mom this summer.

Carol Schnittker Pitney
Ohhhhhhh, what I could do with more craft supplies. I have been interested in some of the craft ideas using washi tape and I could always find uses for everything else for sure :)
KT Cowden
I’d use the metal letters to make a sign for my brother’s upcoming wedding.
KRISTA MARIE
I would use the paper tree cups to color coordinate my son’s birthday party. I’m a bit obsessive compulsive with matching everything!
Debra
This is so simple it may not be a true “craft” but I would punch holes in the muffin cups and slide them onto straws for a colorful “umbrella” for summer drinks!
Krista's Paper Cafe
I would use the supplies to make a ton of beautiful, fun and precious bday cards!!

I would love to have the bakers twine in the beautiful colors. I would use it tie up packages wrapped in butchers paper. i would use it for gifts and goodies.
