1. TITLE
Vintage Music Wreath

sheet music. ThIs attractive decoration can be used indoors all
year long. These wreaths would make wonderful holiday gifts or
decorations. Lisa will guide you through the process. It looks complex but it
is really easy. You will finish, or almost finish (depending I how fast you
work), in class. Once you master this technique you can try making wreaths with
other decorative papers.

2. TITLE Tube and Beads
Doll Pins
DESCRIPTION: These doll pins can be funky or elegant,
depending on your choice of fabric and beads. They can be simple and graphic or glitzy and embellished to
the hilt. It is up to you! The samples here are plain but still interesting.
You can wear them as pins or make them as holiday tree decorations . The
creative possibilities are endless. This is the kind of project of which you
can’t make “just one”. Once
you get started, you’ll want to make a bunch. They are a great way to use up
small amounts of materials left from other projects.
CLASS SIZE: 20 max.
KIT: $3.00 Sewn tubes in many colors and stuffing. An assortment for fibers for "hair" and some beads to share too. Pin backs.
BRING: You will need to bring assorted beads with bigger
holes like on strung jewelry necklaces. ( I buy necklaces from second hand
stores and unstring them.)
Sharing beads here will work well so the colors can be coordinated with
the tubes.
A sewing needle that can be easily threaded with double
heavy duty thread.
Heavy duty thread if you have some but I will bring some
too.
A stuffing tool like a screwdriver or chop stick; and a turning tool like a small
hemostat.
Some assorted fibers like yarn, small ribbon, Angelina
fiber, just about any thin fibers. I have some that came on cards in a box and
I will bring those to share too.
I will also bring letter beads to share if someone wants to
make a "message" pin doll.
If you do beading on cloth with those tiny beads please plan
to do that after class if desired. These little tubes can be very elegant!

CLASS - Twig Brooch

This is a unique little pin or
brooch that puts friendly humanity into trees. It would be a great gift

tag for an arboretum volunteer.
Mavis will present a demo and
get you started. Then you can work on this fun project your own.
CLASS SIZE: Maximum 20
KIT: A ready stuffed twig, and supplies to complete, and a pattern with instructions for future reference. Cost $5.

TIME: Friday 10 AM – 11 AM
4 TITLE Star Book
DESCRIPTION:
This clever little book is perfect for a scrap book or journal or notebook.
When you open the book the pages “explode” giving you many surfaces for
decoration or writing. When the book it totally opened, and the covers tied
together, the book looks like a star. Small versions make interesting ornaments.
Though this looks like a very complex book form it is really
quite easy, good for a beginner, when you tale it a step at a time. These books
make great gifts and are easy to personalize. Your choice of papers can create
very different looks. Try pastels for a baby, primary colors for kids, or use
maps for a masculine look.
CLASS
SIZE: Any
KIT : $1. Includes cardboard for covers, some ribbon, some
papers, directions.
BRING: Several
(5 or so) sheets of card stock. Several sheets of text weight paper. (Can be
white or colored.) A LARGE glue stick. For your covers you will need 2 sheets of decorated paper (scrapbook paper, maps, sheet
music, etc.). If you have one, bring a personal cutter, otherwise bring a ruler,
pencil and scissors. If you want to use a certain ribbon bring at least 18”.
