A few weeks ago, I had bought some jewelry-making supplies to create my own accessories, but I was still missing a few key items—mainly Chinese knotting cord or clear nylon. So yesterday, I took advantage of some free time to visit El Castillo and find what I needed. I went straight to the notions section… and I was honestly amazed! There was so much more than I expected: threads in every color, beads, charms, chains, tools, and more. Literally a paradise for anyone who loves crafting their own pieces. 🧵✨ Aside from getting the pink cord I was looking for, I also picked up a roll of clear nylon and some really cute white beads. I didn’t go overboard this time, but I did take lots of photos of things I’d like to grab on my next visit. My mental wishlist is already growing. Of course, once I got home, I didn’t waste any time and immediately started crafting. I made a few bracelets and I lovedhow they turned out. It’s so satisfying to see how, with just a few materials, you can create something pretty and totally personalized. Visiting stores like the notions section at El Castillo definitely inspires me to keep exploring this little hobby of mine. 🎨💖

Hace unas semanas habĂa comprado algunos materiales de bisuterĂa para hacer mis propios accesorios, pero todavĂa me faltaban algunos detallitos clave: el hilo chino o nylon. AsĂ que ayer aprovechĂ© un rato libre para ir a El Castillo y buscar lo que necesitaba. Me fui directo a la secciĂłn de mercerĂa… ¡y quedĂ© sorprendida! HabĂa muchĂsimo más de lo que imaginaba: hilos de todos los colores, pepitas, dijes, cadenas, herramientas y más. Literalmente, un paraĂso para quienes disfrutamos armar nuestras propias cositas. 🧵✨ Además de comprar el hilo chino rosado que estaba buscando, tambiĂ©n me llevĂ© un rollo de nylon transparente y unas pepitas blancas sĂşper lindas. No quise comprar de más esta vez, pero sĂ aprovechĂ© para tomar varias fotos de cosas que me gustarĂa llevar en una prĂłxima visita. Ya tengo mi lista mental hecha. Y por supuesto, al llegar a casa no perdĂ tiempo y me puse manos a la obra. ArmĂ© algunos brazaletes y me encantĂł cĂłmo quedaron. Es demasiado gratificante ver cĂłmo con unos pocos materiales puedes crear algo bonito y personalizado. Definitivamente, visitar mercerĂas como la de El Castillo me inspira a seguir explorando este pequeño hobby.
