Nifty Thrifty Craft Class

Here is the line up for fall semester nifty thrifty craft class. ALL CLASSES ARE 7pm THURSDAY NIGHTS, dates are listed below. Keep in mind as you look things over that you can customize any of these projects to fit your own tastes. Let me know if there is a specific color of paper or whatever materials that you want and I will do my very best to get it. I will provide a variety of colors and styles of materials for each project to choose from.

Cost- The price of each project is listed underneath the description. You have the option of paying the total cost of all your chosen projects at once, or you can pay a week ahead. I will try to be as flexible as possible in arranging payment, but I have not been given any funds to do this class so I will have to pay for materials out of my own pocket if you don't pay ahead of time, which is not ideal. As a rule of thumb, I would like to have a final count of who is making each project and full payments for the materials a week in advance.

There will also be 3 workday classes that anyone is welcome to come to. You can catch up on unfinished projects or bring something of your own to work on. Everyone is welcome. Dates of workdays are OCTOBER 7th, NOVEMBER 4th, and December 9th.

Email, call or leave a comment on here to let me know what and how many you want to make of each project. (remember these things make great gifts)

This is the watch face that I will be ordering
IMPORTANT!! IF YOU ARE BUYING A WATCH FACE, I NEED TO KNOW AND HAVE YOUR MONEY FOR IT BY THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 23rd SO I CAN GET THEM ORDERED IN TIME. I CANNOT ORDER ANY ADDITIONAL FACES AFTER THAT.

Beaded Watches- October 28th
Join in the trend and make one of these fun eclectic watches. The best thing about these fun watches is that they are interchangeable, so you can have watch bands to match anything. You can choose to make just the watch band for $5 each, or get a watch face and a watch band for $10. What a nifty way to express yourself and keep time. Maybe your mom would like one too.
Price- $10 for a watch face and watch band, or $5 for just a band

Mini Scrapbook Album- November 18th
A Fun quick way to document your adventures. Because of it's small size, this scrapbook makes the perfect take along for proud grandparents or parents. And if you aren't into scrapbooking so much, how about creating a mini cookbook? This would make a cute stocking stuffer. You could even make it for your spouse filled with reasons you love them. The possibilities are unlimited.
Price- $5 (materials provided for 1 min scrapbook)



Card Making- December 2nd
Don't you think paying $5 dollars for a card is ridiculous? In this class you can make 8 for less than the price you'd pay for one greeting card at the store, including the envelopes! You can copy the examples or use the materials provided to create your own unique design.
Price- $2 (materials provided)

3D Snowflakes- December 2nd
It's always such a bummer to take all the Christmas decorations down, but you will be able to leave these up until the snow melts. Quick and easy, but high impact. They can be customized to any size or color. Dangle some from your ceiling or in the window to add charm to those gloomy winter days.

Heather, these look so much fun! I can't believe you are organizing all this. You go girl!

PS -- I want to know how to do the seasons frame. And the mini album. And the snowflake. What are the odds of you being able to show me through words and pictures sometime? :)
