Here are some fun crafts you can make 

this weekend to give to your favorite teacher!  

#1 Teacher Apple Pail

These little "apples" were made by piercing gumballs with a toothpick or bamboo skewer. Then, you add a piece of chenille for the stem. So cute! 

A+ Candy Apple Dish

 Isn't is amazing what you can do with a Terracotta pot? We painted it red, glues a wood knob to the top for a handle and some felt leaves. The label is adhesive chalkboard vinyl.

Desk Accessories

No desk is complete without a place for notes! Washi tape, paper and sticker are a fun and easy way to decorate plain office supplies. 

Remember, we have 100's of free craft tutorials on our website!

WOOD-BURNED GOURD BIRDHOUSE
Thurs. May 2 & 16 (6-8:30pm)  Register Now!


Fee: $40.00 most supplies included. 2-week series.

We will use wood burners to etch a fuchsia design onto our gourds, and then add color with inks to complete the design.

Wire and beads can be added to enhance the project.

The result will be a birdhouse that any respectable feathered friend would be proud to inhabit. What a great idea for a gift!
