Craft Club info:

Thank You for your interest in the Craft Club!

This club is open to anyone who is interested in crafting.

The purpose of the club is to encourage and

help give each other that extra accountability…..

We all love crafting, but sometimes actually making

ourselves do a craft takes some togetherness and encouragement.

That’s where the whole craft club idea comes in…..

Here are a few simple guidelines.

(this is for local participants).

1. There will be a theme each month.

2. Craft club meets 6:30PM the first Thursday of each month at my house..

3. You can join in 1 month or as many as you would like….. :)

4. everyone is welcome…just email me and let me know how many are coming bargainhoot@gmail.com

I want to make sure I have a seat for each person.

5. I’ll provide a supply list. You’ll need to bring everything on the list in order to make your craft.

If you are able to bring a snack to share that would be great…if you don’t have foodies to bring no worries….

just bring yourself!! We’d rather have you than food :)

November 3rd - Pumpkin Theme

We are going to make Fabric pumpkins…Velvet pumpkins with real stems are very popular and oh so cute!

We’ll be making a knock-off version. The photo below shows an example of what we’ll be making.

I’ll put up a supply list soon. You decide what fabric you want to use. Begin saving any

nice pumpkin or gourd stems. ( stems can get moldy so I would suggest soaking them

in a bleach solution and rinse well so no bleach residue is left on the stem.

Dry the stem out completely). If your stem is clean and looks good there isn’t a need to do this step.

The main thing is…you just want a clean dried out stem. I baked mine in the oven for a few hrs @150 degrees

to dehydrate it and kill mold….that might have been overkill, but I’m just trying to play it safe!

 

Here is the supply list:

1/2 yard of fabric * I changed this from 1/3 to 1/2 yard

1/2 yard makes 3 pumpkins. ((If you are interested in velvet

let me know.…. you can buy some from me Thursday night.

the cost is $3.00 for velvet fabic per pumpkin.))

3 stems

A needle and heavy thread.

Bag of dry beans or rice

 

I’ll provide the rest.

Below is an updated photo of what we’ll be making….

Here’s the link to those trees Rene’: http://acreativemomma.blogspot.com/2010/12/tissue-christmas-trees.html#comment-form

Let me know what you think. I also thought about using those paper mache cones that they sell at hobby lobby or michaels instead of making them out of poster board. Waaaay easier lol

Meggan everyone loved the trees. I think we’re going to make those and wreaths at the next meet up….
