Paper Flowers at Pearl Library's March Craft Night

We had a ball at Pearl Library's craft night last Tuesday! Once again pulling some inspiration from Pinterest, we made mountable paper flowers from paper bags. The Pinterest craft looked like this:

 

 

We got a little creative and painted some of our paper bags. We also used some colored paper, buttons, and glass beads in the middle of our flowers. Look how pretty they turned out:

 

 



 What fun! Notice that we got to have our craft night in the presence of a lot of great art made by students from the Pearl Public School District. It was inspiring to get to make some crafts in such an artistic environment!

We can't wait for next month, when our craft will be to make necklaces out of old t-shirts. If you're interested in attending, we'll meet on Tuesday, April 9th, at 5:30 p.m. Bring an old t-shirt (preferably without seams on the side) and get ready to turn it into something new!

Our crafters displaying and wearing their wreaths.

We had a great time at Simply Crafts this past Tuesday! The wreaths turned out nice -- we used used book pages, stamps, and a hot glue gun. We had some newcomers who swore they'd come to the next meeting. We hope to see them and everyone else who would like to join the fun at our next meeting!!

We love books! We urge you to read them, enjoy them, learn from them... destroy them! Destroy them? Destroy that old book and make a craft out of it! (Please don't destroy our books; you'll be fined.)
At next week's craft night, we will be making a smaller version of the wreath shown above. And if you haven't already guessed, it's made out of book pages. Don't worry, you won't have to destroy any of your books; we already have some old ones you can use. We will meet from 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, June 12 at the Pearl Library. This program is free with all materials provided and open to the public. We'll see you there!
