Burlap Flowers--$3.50 for 10

These beauties have a variety of uses! Add them to your wreath; make a burlap flower bouquet to display at home; add them to a headband or hair clips; add a pin backs and to attach to a purse or outfit and the list goes on! We will provide burlap in a variety of colors, floral wire, alligator clips, pin backs, pearls, hot glue and a glue gun and a pair of fabric scissors. (If you have your own glue gun or fabric scissors, feel free to bring them to crafting day. This will help cut back on waiting time to complete this project.) The first one is a learning curve but it gets much easier as you go. We will be there to help you if you get stuck and will have plenty of burlap in case you need a redo.

TIME: This crafting project will take anywhere from 30 min to 1 hr to complete, depending on quickly you make your flowers. 


Lip Balm--$6 for 10 tubes

The perfect little stocking stuffer and so easy to make! They come in 3 flavor options—"passionfruit rose", "mint julep" or "buttercream." You can pick up to two flavors/set. For this project you'll be working in the kitchen. It will require melting the lip balm base, adding desired flavor and color (optional), adding to tubes, waiting for tubes to set (at least 1 hr) and then adding lip balm labels to tubes. We will provide all the materials needed, but if you have a pyrex measuring cup (the smaller the better) at home, bring it! This will help cut down on waiting time. We will use them to melt, mix and pour your lip balm. We encourage you to do this project early in the day and then go on to another project while you wait for the lip balm to set and come back to add the labels.

TIME: This project takes about 2 hours total, including setting time (30-40 min melting, mixing and pouring, at least 1 hr to set and about 10 min or less to add labels).


Poinsettias--$1.50 for a set of 3

These felt poinsettias make a festive addition to a burlap wreath, but you are more than welcome to sign up to make them with or without a wreath order. The craft requires tracing a pattern, cutting felt and hot glue to put it all together. We will provide all the supplies to make them. If you have your own glue gun or fabric scissors, feel free to bring them to crafting day!  We will have detailed instructions for this project at the crafting table and will also have someone to help instruct for anybody who needs extra help.

TIME: This project will take about 30-40 minutes (20+ minutes tracing and cutting and about 10 to put together).




Red Bow--$3

Add this adorable red burlap bow to your burlap wreath or use it for some other at-home project. All supplies to make the bow are included in the price. Detailed instructions with pictures will be provided at the crafting table, along with a person to help you as needed.

TIME: This project takes about 20 - 30 minutes to complete and is pretty easy to put together!

8" wood letter--$4.25

Add this darling letter on to your wreath or get one for another project all your own! 

Letters measure 8" tall and come pre-painted white. We'll provide wire to attach it to your wreath. Feel free to bring your own paint to personalize your letter!


Burlap Wreath--$11

This lovely wreath is the perfect neutral for a multi-season wreath. It looks lovely all on its own or you can add a bow, letter, or set of poinsettias (all the add-ons we're offering we'll be detachable so you can redecorate your wreath for every season). 

We'll provide all the supplies you need to make this wreath (18" wire wreath frame, burlap, and wire) plus easy to follow instructions for assembling your wreath. 

TIME: ~30 minutes


Paper covered candle holder--$4 each

Hard to believe these lovely votives are simple glass candle holders wrapped in paper. But it's true!

We'll bring the glass candle holders and your choice of paper (lacey or circle cut-outs) cut to size. We'll spray paint the paper (silver or gold), let it dry, and then use spray glue to attach it to our candle holders. Candle not included in price. Sorry! :)

TIME: 10 mins of active time, but you'll need to let your paint dry in between coats.

Glass Etching--FREE!

Glass etching is great way to personalize cookware, to dress up simple glasses, or label glass jars. There are lots of possibilities with this project!

We'll provide the etching cream, contact paper, and exacto knives for cutting out your design. We'll also have some stencils on hand to choose from. Feel free to print your own design on paper before hand and bring it along to use. And of course bring something glass to etch!

TIME: it really depends on the complexity of your design. So cutting time + 5 mins to allow etching cream to work.



Chalkboard Ornaments--$3 for set of 5

These darling little ornaments are the perfect addition to your Christmas decor!

Choose from three shapes (rectangle, oval, or bracket). The ornaments will come blank with a pre-drilled hole for hanging. At the activity we'll paint them with black chalkboard paint, add twine for easy hanging, and then decorate! Chalk markers will be provided for use at the activity, but these lovelies can be decorated with regular chalk as well. Use on a Christmas tree (or thankful tree at Thanksgiving!) with sweet Christmas sayings or have everyone write something they are grateful for. 



Embroidery Hoop Map Art--$2.50

Show some love for your favorite city! We'll paint our embroidery hoops (or leave natural if you prefer!), put our maps in and embroider a heart around the city of your choice. We'll provide Kentucky maps, but feel free to bring a map of you own*.  We'll teach you the simple embroidery skills required and provide the 10 inch hoop, KY map, red thread, needles, and some basic paint colors. Make one or a whole set of places that are significant to you!



*Many states will send you a free highway map. Here is a website that has compiled a list of all the state websites where you can go to request a map (http://www.heyitsfree.net/free-state-maps/). Be sure to request them early as it can take a week or two for them to get it to you.

"Days Until..." Chalkboard and Vinyl sign--$5

Check out this adorable chalkboard countdown sign! 

We'll paint a piece of pre-cut wood (3.5" X 12") with black chalkboard paint and then add the "days until" vinyl (won't wipe off!) with room on either side to fill in with a count down to your next special occasion. Simple to put together and so fun and perfect to use all year round!
