​Let's make adorable air dry clay mini bowls to use as a brush rest or ring holder. The bowls can be beautiful gifts for friends or family too! This live class will be in two parts. The first class will be creating, shaping, and smoothing the bowl shapes using cookie cutters or a craft knife. Since air-dry clay takes about a day or so to dry, we will be painting and glazing the bowls the week after.

• Air Dry Clay in any color
• Large flower cookie cutter or craft knife. 
• soft paint brush
• water
• cutting mat
• wax paper
• Cookie press, mold press, or rubber stamps (optional)
• acrylic paints
• acrylic gloss finish

Links to purchase items we will be using in class are highlighted in blue.

You can make your own air-dry clay using common ingredients right from your kitchen! Watch the video for three different recipes. Make up a batch to have ready for Monday's class!

For this Fold-it Friday event, we will be folding beautiful five-point stars to make into a garland or decoration for any holiday or occasion. To make the star, you will need a sheet of paper cut into a pentagon. The paper size can range from 12" to 7" depending on the size star you wish to fold.
 You have three sizes to choose from depending on the size of your paper. You can always adjust the size up or down by changing the settings on your printer.
Before the start of class, download, print, and trace the pentagon shape onto the back of your paper. 

If you are feeling brave, and would like to create a pentagon from a square, watch this helpful video. In class, we will start with the pentagon, so have some ready to fold!

Let's crochet a super easy mask band to make wearing masks more comfortable and colorful. To crochet along in class, you will need some scraps of crochet cotton or yarn, a crochet needle, a couple of buttons, and a needle and thread. They are a quick, last-minute gift that you can make for yourself as well as family and friends! Be sure to register for Thursday's live class by clicking here.
