I Love Resin’s “Trends We Are Noticing”

Carmi, over on the I Love Resin Blog, has been doing a post for the past 4 months that is worth taking a look at. Carmi has been asking a group of designers, educators, authors and others to share their observations of trends that relate to the Craft and Hobby industry. She then assembled the content and shared it on her I Love Resin Blog. It is fun to look at and worth reading.

Here are a couple of my favorites (looks like I like what Lisa Kettell has to say!):

Over the past month I’ve been noticing a trend in vintage camping. This trend as now been coined: “Glamping.” Glamping stands for glamorous creative camping. From rubber stamps to clothes, vintage camping trailers, mason jars and pennant banners are popping up in the creative industry. Many creative institutions are recognizing this glamping trend, so be on the lookout for more. It’s fresh, it’s vintage and it’s perfect for summer crafting.”

Coachella is a music festival which has become the epicenter for cutting edge fashion and trends, with a focus on boho chic. A blend of free spirit styles, tribal and edgy mixed patterns, a modern day hippie who loves exploring the beach as much as the forest.
Designers in all industries are recognizing the trend. Craft stores are carrying boho jewelry lines, crochet elements and natural supplies. Living a boho lifestyle means mixing the palette, everything works. Lavender hair, crochet dresses, fringe and rustic jewelry are perfect combos. Be on the look out for more of this trend, especially fringe and tribal components this Spring and Summer.”

The trend I am noticing this Month is the industrial maker market. There is a fresh emergence of industrial chic with chalkboard surfaces, metals, burlaps and cork surfacing all over.  Craft stores are recognizing the trend in rustic DIYers who are creating online stores, pop up shops and market fairs. DIYers crave rustic platforms for their products such as displays, signs, banners and tags to showcase they original wares.   Artisan business materials are just as important as the product is and now a huge apart of the design process!
