Tinted Mint: Eco-Friendly Craft & DIY Supplies

As soon as I saw this adorable little shop, I knew I wanted to share it with you: Tinted Mint specializes in creative craft and DIY supplies, and founder/designer Patty chooses natural, recycled, and eco-friendly materials whenever possible (from products to packaging & shipping supplies), so you can feel good about shopping here. And if you are feeling how I am lately (a bit tired and dull from the tired, dull weather) and are looking for a bit of inspiration for small creative projects, I think you will really enjoy having a look around this shop!

From unique washi tapes (including these which I am still obsessed with), stickers, pins and buttons, to translucent wax paper file folders, wood block print wrapping paper and beautiful furoshiki cloth wrappers, I am assembling quite the little wish list in my mind right now! Hehe. What do you think? Are you doing any little crafty/DIY projects lately? What sort of supplies make your heart go pitter-pat?

For me it is Japanese washi tape, because I swear every time I turn around, some creative person has discovered a new way to use this versatile, decorative tape! For instance, did you see this picture frame project (pictured above) that Holly Becker of decor8 did a while back? Or what about these DIY tea party invites made by Merrilee and featured on Creature Comforts? It just seems that the potential uses for this tape are endless!

As I was clicking around the Tinted Mint site I was so pleased to discover a little ideas section, showing creative ways to use the craft products in your home or in simple DIY projects. My favorites were the studio ideas (pictured above), showing washi tape used to label file folders, secure inspiration images, and decorate plain storage boxes. I think it is such a nice touch when a shop goes the extra mile to show how their products can be used in your home, don’t you agree? You can browse more at the Tinted Mint site or on Etsy.
