WOOD-BURNED GOURD BIRDHOUSE
Thurs. May 2 & 16 (6-8:30pm)  Register Now!


Fee: $40.00 most supplies included. 2-week series.

We will use wood burners to etch a fuchsia design onto our gourds, and then add color with inks to complete the design.

Wire and beads can be added to enhance the project.

The result will be a birdhouse that any respectable feathered friend would be proud to inhabit. What a great idea for a gift!

Instructor: Diane Frederick

Charming Window Display

Mother's Day is coming up quick! Here's a simple gift where you can showcase some original photography of yours. Now, who's Mom doesn't like getting art from their children?

This three-panel frame measures 13.5" x 30.75" - pretty good size! Each panel is about 8" x 10". We printed our photos onto transparency film and then used Mod Podge to adhere them to the glass. The saying in the center panel is an adhesive vinyl sticker.

Look for our Mother's Day ad circular next week! We have some great gifts, crafts and ideas for the special Mom in your life.
