RIDICULOUSLY ADORABLE CLASS DETAILS

IT'S TIME FOR A
CHRISTMAS CRAFT CLASS!

If you could have been a mouse in the corner at my house the last few days

you would have seen crazy in action -

last year I found myself at the end of the Christmas Season,
happy about the things I had created for others,
but without having made anything for myself.
 I LOVE to craft at Christmas.
Having this class is my chance to catch up a little this year
and there are a lot of projects to choose from
narrowing it down has taken me literally DAYS!
so hard to choose!
but enough explanation....

NOW, CHOOSE YOUR CRAFTS:      

PAPER ORNAMENTS AND EMBELLISHMENTS 
SIMILAR TO (BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME AS) THESE:
(our kits include all pre-cut paper and supplies needed for our version of this project - including instructions)
inexpensive and easy - paper is one of my favorite mediums for crafting!

#1 FLOWER STAR MEDALLION ORNAMENT
KIT: $4.00


found at the bricolage-julier blog
I love this ornament.  I've been dying to make it, or a version of it
ever since Pottery Barn came out with their paper ornaments last year.
#2 STAR MEDALLION ORNAMENT
KIT: $3.50


I found this version on Graphics Fairy.  (I'm addicted)
We will give you 3 vintage-style Christmas graphics to choose from for the center. 
You are sure to love at least one of them!
#3 SNOWFLAKE MEDALLION
KIT: $3.25




This is a basic idea for a very cute ornament, but ours will have more bling and more color
and some vintage style... I don't know who to credit this to - so if you do, let me know.  Makes up quickly.
#4 ACCORDION PLEATED PAPER BALL ORNAMENT
KIT: $4.50






I have one of these from Pottery Barn's collection last year. 
I can't tell you how excited I am to make them,
because one just isn't enough!

#5 DECOUPAGE GLASS BALL ORNAMENT

inspired by Amy Brethauer, we made some of our own
the base is a clear glass ball, and they sparkle!
(Kit includes glass ball ornament)

BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE STYLE ORNAMENTS

SET OF 3 VINTAGE STYLE 
PAPER MACHE ORNAMENTS
Heavily glittered star with vintage style medallion
A diamond shape paper mache base, vintage buttons, and 

2-3 Santa faces to choose from

our kit is for the ornament, but chains will be available to turn it into a necklace.  
once again, our backgrounds and ornament shape will vary from this example


BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Nature themes are all the rage this year - especially our feathered friends!

my tree with!

Your class looks so fun!! I guess great minds think alike because I just sent out an invite for a crafting party late last night. Pics of my projects are on facebook. It is too bad we don't live closer together so we could throw a party together! :)
