Fuzzy, Felty Keychain Fun
The cutest and wackiest and most unique keychains in town were created as we learned some basic stitches and whipped up some tasty keychain fun on a rainy Sunday afternoon! An angry pink cupcake, mini guitars and lots more came to life while we had a great time!

Fused Plastic Bag
Pouch/Wallet
Did you know that you could fuse together flimsy, thin plastic shopping bags and transform them into a stronger, downright durable material? Now that's recycling! This workshop taught how turn your trash into craft!

Make a Stuffed Creature
We made & sewed our own adorable or hideous creation in stunning 3-D stuffed form! Patterns were available, but free-styling was encouraged! Basic hand-sewing skills and hand eye coordination was not required, but helpful!

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Make Your Own Book Purse!

You've gotta love the smell and feel of an old book...

How cool is this? A unique and funky purse made from an old book!! These couldn't be cuter and you're sure to get lots of compliments when you carry it! You will proud to own a purse that is truly one-of-a-kind!

This is an intermediate level crafter project, it will involve some sewing, hot gluing, cutting, ripping, tearing and drilling!

For our crafty dudes, leave off the handles and you have a manly murse/portfolio you could carry with you. Girls love intellectual guys with books! :-)

Instruction, patterns and all materials required (including books) will be provided. Books, fabric and handles will vary from sample shown.

<-- Here are some of the books we will have on hand for the book purse workshop. Feel free to scout around and bring your own!! The thicker the spine the better. Look for hardcover books with great covers (not just great dust jackets).
