Who says crafting is just for girls? Alex Brands sure doesn’t, and they don’t want you to either. With Guy Gear, a new line of do-it-yourself (DIY) crafts, Alex Brands gives boys everything they need to craft in style.
Intended for kids ages 8 and up, the line includes Awesome FX Hair Chalk Pens and Sporty Cuffs, which inspire tweens to create their own look.
Kids can add a little flair to their hair with Awesome FX Hair Chalk Pens. Application takes a few minutes at most. Just pick your favorite color chalk pen, and apply it to dry hair. Next, use the included tiny black comb to smooth out the color and distribute it evenly. Viola! You just became the mane attraction (pun intended)—and that’s not even the best part. The chalk washes right out with a little shampoo! I can already hear all the moms out there rejoicing. No permanent dye. No commitments. Just bliss.
That right there might just be the highlight of your week (pun also intended).
With red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple chalk pens included, kids have nearly the entire rainbow to choose from. The only color missing is indigo. That color gets so little love it’s unbeweavable (last one, I swear).
Whether they’ve got a big ol’ bowl cut or a spiky sharp mohawk, Awesome FX Hair Chalk Pens will have kids showing their true colors.
When it comes to crafting, Sporty Cuffs scores. It gives guys all the tools and supplies they need to create four different sport-themed bracelets. The kit comes with metal soccer and lacrosse tags, football and baseball beads, two polyurethane bands, two plastic buckles, and an assortment of various cords made of nylon, leather, cotton and elastic. There’s even a tiny plastic needle to help them through the crafting process.
That said, parents should definitely lend a helping hand with this craft. The process of creating each bracelet is certainly challenging and the included step-by-step guide requires lots of patience. Â
So whether it’s football, baseball, soccer, or lacrosse that they love, Sporty Cuffs offers young guys a stylish accessory that they can create themselves and feel good about wearing. Sounds like a winner to me.
The Guy Gear collection also includes DIY Bro Bands, Cobra Bands, Metallic Tattoos, and Rip & Stick Duct Tape Wallet.
