Top Trends From Creativation 2019

01.25.19 By Angie 1 Comment

Hi all, it’s Angie! I had the pleasure of attending the Creativation 2019 trade show last week.  This is a show where a ton of the craft brand manufacturers display their new and existing products.  It is a great place to spot 2019 craft trends for the upcoming year.  Since the show floor is only open to craft industry professionals, I thought I would take you behind the scenes a bit and show you some of what I saw that I think will be hot this year!

Creativation 2019 Craft Trends

I am fairly sure that you remember the adult coloring trend.  I think that is being replaced by two things.  The first is Diamond Dotz.  This is a fairly addictive project that involves sticking small jeweled dots to a grid.  There was everything from small beginner kits to huge projects displayed.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-3The second thing I have seen is color by sticker projects.  You may have seen a few books but there was a company at Creativation called Stick Together that had made posters.  These are a great zen activity for yourself or even a fun activity for a party!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-4As a part of the 2019 craft trends I noticed, I saw that quite a few craft companies are trying to go environmentally friendly.  From paint to resin, the green trend is hitting the craft industry.  If you have ever used an oil based gold leafing paint, you will know just how toxic they are.  Plaid is coming out with a non-toxic version this year that is stunning as well!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-5That really brings me to my next trend which is all things glitter and shine.  It was one sparkly Creativation show this year.  From paints that are full of glitter to entire booths dedicated to the trend, this is one that is not going anywhere!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-6I even found some over the top glitter items like these papers!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-7The Glitterific paint from Plaid also does a great job of taking 2019 craft trends to the next level!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-8The talk of the show was the Foil Quill pen from We R Memory Keepers which adds that shiny foil look to your projects right in your craft cutting machine.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-9Animals and cacti continue to be super hot.  Think llamas, sloths, narwhals, and more.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-10I even saw a trend with pinatas at various booths in various sizes and even out of various materials.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-11From stickers to home decor and more, these animals kept popping up all around the show floor.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-12I even found a few of these trendy items in the Darice booth!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-13After all, wouldn’t everyone love a cactus birdhouse?

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-14Crochet and knitting still continue to be really popular and they even combine with the animal trend.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-15These amigurumi kits from Red Heart were some of my faves!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-16The animal trend also combined with another trend that seemed to be in every other booth – embroidery hoops!  They were everywhere and used in a variety of crafts.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-17The display below was in the Darice booth!

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-18Finally, letter boards are still trending and are upping their game.  From shaped letter boards to extra large letter walls, get ready to up your quote game in 2019.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-19Yes, they even have ones with a vintage feel so there are no excuses!  Everyone should have a letter board.

2019-Craft-Trends-Creativation-Darice-20Creativation 2019 was full of inspiration and some of the most amazing supplies in the crafting industry.  I hope these 2019 craft trends have inspired your creativity!  Now, head out and make something grand!
