3. Assembling 3D art just got easier with Handy Wedges
These simple non-slip foam rubber blocks offer the perfect solution when you find yourself in need of another set of hands. The triangular shape lends itself to supporting boxes, panels, or nearly any shape as you assemble and solder your projects, all by simply aligning the wedges in different configurations.
4. New Fusible System 96 Glass Colors
Used together, the scrumptious dark brown and vibrant green offer a dynamic pairing perfect for a rainforest color scheme. Apart, they are equally amazing. Chocolate offers up the ultimate neutral to make nearly any color pop. Lemongrass is a strikingly different shade between yellow and green that is sunny and fun. Both of these colors look fantastic with nearly any other System 96 glass, making them go-to colors to dress up any design.
