April Project

This month we will revisit our early childhood by playing with crayons (but in a grown up manner!). We will be making beautiful and super easy artwork for our homes or offices.

Supplies:
White canvas (your choice of size but 11x14 or 16x20 work well
Crayons (I get these at the dollar store. If you are using one range of color as above, you will need several boxes to get enough of that color range.)
Silhouette (I have these to choose from)
Hand held hairdryer

As usual, I will need to hear from you if you plan on attending so I can make sure I have enough for everyone. You can email me at educ8ed1@cox.net

March Project

We will have an option of two projects this month. Who could resist using recycled magazines (don't we all have a ton?!) to make this whimsical and functional bowl.

Or if you prefer, you can make this super easy and inexpensive cake platter from those little plastic pony beads.

The supplies for the bowl are:
     A Balloon
     Old Magazines or Colored Paper
     Scissors
     Glue
     Bamboo Skewer or Quilling Tool

The supplies for the cake platter are
     Large Round Cake Pan
     Enough Pony Beads to Cover Bottom of Pan
     Something to use as a Base (can be wooden or glass)
     Optional: Spray Paint for Base
    

February Project

Our February project will incorporate brass zippers, felt and hearts (for Valentine's Day of course!). This cute little pin can be used on your lapel, your hat, or anywhere that your imagination can take you.

You will need to contact me via email at educ8ed1@cox.net if you plan on attending this class.
Supplies:
Brass Zipper (20-24 inches long)
Felt in your choice of color(s)
Embroidery Thread to contrast your felt
Brooch pin
Optional: Beads

We will also continue working on our blankets for The Linus Project.

January Project

Our January project will be to make a magnetic perpetual calendar. The metal background will be used for each month but the banners and numbers will be changed. You may use your own imagination for the banners and numbers or use mine. I have shown you the first three months here, but all 12 are available.

December Projects

Our December meeting will be on the 4th at 6:30. We will be making cloth napkins that look like Christmas trees, Christmas earrings and a beautiful JOY banner. Please see the supply list under the supply tab for details on what you will need to bring.
