Ladies Creativity Night

Ladies Creativity Night will be March 9th at 7pm. Hosted by Brandy Dean, where at my home.
Address will be given to anyone whom has never been to my house before. FYI- We will be in my basement which is heated but I would still bring a sweater. Please remember to use a 40% of coupon at Hobby Lobby if you pull it up on your phone they will except it or you can go to Hobby Lobby's web site and print it. Hobby Lobby has the ribbon 50% off Feb. 27- March 3. Pat Catan's always has great prices on ribbon.

 I will be provide  punch and water along with assorted chips. It is open if you would like to bring yourself or a group beverage of your choice, along with a snack or dessert of your choice. The following photo's will be the crafts you can choose from to make or if you prefer you can make both.
PROJECT 1 This is a faux metal tray/ platter painted with chalkboard paint. Your choice if you want to add a bow.
The following supplies will be need to make this project:
  1. Faux silver tray/ platter
(The trays at the Dollar Tree is way smaller then shown)( May have to search thrift stores)
  2. Foam brush 1" or 2 " inches wide
  3. Ribbon of choice 1" or 2" inches wide with wire edge at least 3 yards for a nice bow
(Wire edge ribbon will help the bow keep shape- the more yardage of ribbon the bigger the bow you can make.)

  4. 2-Pipe Cleaners/ Chenille stems small pk. you can get for under $1.00 matching ribbon color or as close as possible
(I do have some but not every color if that's fine with you can use one from me.)

  5. Chalkboard Paint
(Opinion is to buy a quart can at Home Depot -Black is $10.00 or you can buy Chalkboard paint that can be tinted at Home Depot $13.00 can be tinted 9 different colors. I have chalkboard paint in black and gray you can use mine unless you would like to have your own quart can this chalkboard paint can be addicting!) I have also seen this available in the craft paint section at Wal-Mart's.
