    A ‘Super’ Project Made with Reliable Crafting Tools (Customer Images)



    Super Mario is one of the most popular video games since its launch in 1983 and still to this day, it’s a favourite amongst all ages. Our customer has gone a step further and has created an amazing 3D Art Box with a Super Mario World theme, by using Allendale Craft tools.

    Using a host of different cards and precise measuring and cutting tools (as well as a very steady hand), our customer needed equipment which would be cost-effective but reliable, hence why they turned to Allendale Crafts for the best tools for the job. The finished project looks fantastic and we look forward to seeing more of this kind of craft in the near future.

    The tools used for this project from Allendale Crafts were:

    • ModelCraft 28mm Rotary Cutter
    • ModelCraft Stainless
