on their books and get more ideas! $20.00. No class charge for those that have
already taken the class. 2:00-4:00pm
It’s been a while since we’ve had a
guest artist/crafter featured in our newsletter, so I’m excited to have this to
share with you from Jessica Wyckoff! Jessica makes the tutus and tutu bags we
sell in the shop and many of the hair bows, flowers, headbands, flip flops,
hats, and necklaces. Here is her storyJ:
“I started
making hair bows after trying to find reasonably priced, yet cute hair
accessories for my daughter. I took the leap and ordered some ribbon and
finally got started on making my own. After about a month I got the hang of it
and have enjoyed it since. I love working with different styles of ribbon, and
fabric and tulle! It's been a little over a year since I have started and I
still am learning new techniques and styles and am always looking forward to my
next project! My daughter is clearly my inspiration and participates in picking
out what she likes and how she wants to put her bows together. I would
definitely say that this so far has been a very positive and fun experience for
me!”
Excited for summer parties and
celebrations? We are! We have a video DIY tutorial for you this month on making
tissue poms to decorate for almost any occasion. We sell various colors of
tissue paper in the shop and can order in almost any color. If you don’t want
to make them yourself, we will custom make them for you, but please get your
order in in plenty of time as we currently have 80 to make! Prices vary based
on size and type of tissue paper, but our extra large tissue poms are usually around
$2.75. Here is the link to the video we made on how to make them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvaKIOoGRKM&feature=g-upl
We wish a belated Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers,
we wish a blessed future to all graduates, and a special thanks to everyone for
being such awesome customers! We are so blessed and encouraged by you and your
creativity!
