I was in Brussels for business trip last week and, lucky me, I met 2 shopping inclined girls from…read moremy country at a cafe and they invited me to tag along their window shopping spree. Atchoum caught our attention for the display of colors from the buttons, lace, ribons and all things nice to make other nice things. I found the fashion jewelry to be pretty cheap so I got 3 silver plated bangles for 22 euros. Same style, different shapes, like handmade, so cute. Small store but packed with goodies. Whether you are into the DIY jewelry trend of you want just to get a 'i got this in Brussels' kind of piece, then go there.

Nice shop, considering there are not many shops like this in Brussels (other than Veritas, Ava and…read moreSchleiper) who sell some similar products. A bit outside the center, but close to a metro (Tomberg). They sell among other things fabric, paint, clay, cake decorating supplies, yarn (brand Katia), Washi tape. Also, they a had lot of craft related stuff for kids. If you would only have the time to visit one craft shop in Brussels, I would recommend going to Schleiper at place Jourdan instead because its bigger.

Not a lot of arts n crafts stores in Brussels, didn't find any cupcake fun stuff stores either so…read moreCreacorner had to do it. It seems to be a big store but the amount of space they occupy for certain crafts (beads and pearls, scrapbooking) makes other departments look tiny (bake supplies); that being said I think the choice of products are limited which makes it impossible to compare prices, and you have no option but to take the more expensive brands. The store is located in an upper side of Brussels, but I'm used to a more down to earth shopping experience with more choices and lower prices. What is really fun is when you take a kid to the shop and let them pick something to work on at home! This is one of those FUN shops to do with kids.
