Hi Bo Bunny Blog Readers, my name is Kristie Anderson and I am the wife of one of the owners of Wood Creations; an unfinished wood craft store. My husband, Kory Anderson, and his two good friends, Rhett Bonham and Nate Salisbury, opened the store in June of 2011.

The idea for the store came when the partners’ wives were interested in wood crafting and traveling at least 50 miles each way to a store to feed their craft addiction. The men, who have backgrounds in construction (which definitely comes in handy when building shelves and cutting wood) and business, thought there was a great need for a wood craft store in northern Utah and came together to start up Wood Creations.

The store specializes in unfinished wood crafts; which include individual letters, packaged seasonal kits and home decor, picture frames, shelves, crafting supplies and vinyl. Most of our crafts are packaged as kits and come unfinished; but we provide a completed design in the store to spark our customer’s creativity and we also carry all of the supplies to finish our crafts. Of course we carry Bo Bunny paper, as many of our crafts have been completed using this paper. We love the variety and the designs and always love our wood projects completed using this paper.

The main store, located in West Haven, Utah, employs over 20 employees; with many family members working at the store including brothers, sisters, kids and wives--this of course includes me. Some of the positions include our designers, who actually come up with the wood designs and who also finish the crafts. We also have wood cutters who work in the shop and who carefully cut out the wood designs one-by-one. Once a design is drawn, it takes many tweaks and hours of work before the designs hit our shelves.

With two wonderful years under our belts, we decided it was time to expand and chose Idaho Falls, Idaho, as our next store destination. This store opened in June of 2013 and employees around 10 employees. Our next store is opening in St. George, Utah, at the end of the month. We are so excited to be growing and expanding and love the excitement that comes with opening a new store. We have so many wonderful customers who are craft addicts and many who are just getting into the hobby.

Many don’t realize how truly easy it is to finish our crafts but once they give it a try, they realize that even the most novice crafter can complete our projects. And, for those interested in getting started, we also offer crafts classes with step-by-step instructor help. For anyone who isn’t near one of our stores, we do also ship most of our projects and letters via our website.

Here is our autumn word set, which sells for $19.99 in the store. To complete the project we have chosen some darling Bo Bunny paper, traced and cut out the paper for each letter, painted our letters, and glued the paper onto our letters. We then finished the word off with some glitter and embellishments and ta-dah, we have a gorgeous finished craft, perfect as a fall decoration for any home.
