Loom Bands

Our staff at Bee Happy have gone loom bands crazy ever since we started offering the popular product.

Fishtail Variants

Five Row Name Bracelet

Here's the link on how to make the Five Row Name Bracelet.

There's a reason why we didn't offer loom bands products until recently. I didn't think I have the patience and talent to make them. I was right. I made a total of 1 bracelet ever since we got the products and it's a single chain bracelet (the kind that 90s kids used to make with ordinary rubber bands), not even a fish tail. But it made my daughter very happy. Ha!

Reseller Program

We designed our program to be very flexible so that resellers with little budget get to enjoy the best prices by following a minimum quantity per item, while resellers with bigger budget get to enjoy the best prices even if they buy only 1 piece of a certain item. To illustrate this, here's an actual price structure for die cut bookmarks.

We have 3 level of prices and you have 3 options to get those prices.

For example, if reseller A wants to sell diecut bookmarks but has limited budget, he may purchase 30 sets (See min qty) to get the best price, P20. While reseller B who has a budget of P5000 gets to enjoy the best price for the bookmark or any other item, even if he buys only 1 set or 1 piece.


These are the sample starter packages for your business' initial inventory. You may also customize based on your preferred items and budget.




More Details:

How do I become a reseller?
Step 1:
Just send us a link of your Facebook or IG store or any proof that you intend to sell our products
Step 2:
Send us your name, shipping details and contact number for our reference
Step 3:
Once you're approved, you will be classified under regular reseller or premium reseller 1, 2 or 3 based on your previous purchases. This classification will change every month.

3 options to get 3 reseller prices

Price levels
Price Level 1 – you have 3 options to get this price

Premium resellers

Crafts for Kids - White Crayon Resist


My 2-year old baby always sees me using Distress Stains so every time I make a project, she sneaks into my craft supplies box, gets the distress stains and rubs it on whatever paper she gets. This gave me an idea for the perfect craft project to do with her - white crayon resist cards. Crayon resist is probably the oldest craft technique that I know. I've been using it since I was in grade school.

The process is very simple: just write on a card using white crayon, then color with watercolor, (or in this case, Distress Stains). You'll have something like this:

Finished product

Materials 
Materials Used:
Distress Stains or watercolor
White Crayon



When creating this project with your kids, make sure that you have lots of cards available. They're addicting to make! (Our set of 50 cards and envelopes for P250 is perfect for this project!)

These are the projects that I made with my baby.




These are the ones that she made for her Dad and her grandparents. ( I wrote the message, then let her paint)




I wanted to suggest Distress Stains over watercolor because logic suggests that they are not messy but when I saw our "craftermath", I figured messy is always going to be synonymous with toddler. And I love messy!

This project is not just a good bonding activity with your little ones but also a nice way to teach your kids to show appreciation for their loved ones. Try it and have fun!

Tutorial - Paper Basket


I found this awesome Paper Basket Tutorial on Pinterest so I decided to make my own versions.

Paper Baskets

Using a Double Sided Cardstock and Hemp Cord
Using Solid Cardstocks and Edge Punch
Using Printed Paper and Hemp Cord
Using a Double Sided Cardstock and Loom Bands
Materials Used


I didn't get the chance to put more embellishments because this little monkey keeps on "borrowing" the baskets. I finally gave in and let her have them.  Her "Please, mommy" is just too hard to resist.

Scrapbook Layout - Sunshine


I finally finished this layout that I started months ago. 



Materials:
Scrap Cardstocks/Journaling Card


5 minutes into crafting, I was reminded why I haven't finished this layout for so long. I let my baby play with a box of toys and the next thing I knew, she got 2 big chunks of clay on her hair. Bad, mommy! :)
