Fall Workshop Ideas

The kids are back in school and the weather is gettting cooler. It is time for the fall crafting season. Whether you are planning a Super Saturday event for your ward, or are looking for a fun get together with friends, these project ideas are for you.

Craft Project #1--Calendar Frames
Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Cost: $35.00
includes frame & 4 pieces of glass or 2 pieces of tin
Additional sets of Glass (4) or tin (2) $15.00

These frames have removable glass or tins, so you can switch the image each month or change of season. The tins accomidate a design on each side and store inside the frame. There are lots of designs to choose for each month.

Participants will paint and distress their frames available in red, brown, black, green, blue, cream or natural stain. They will also apply vinyl lettering to there glass/tin.

Craft Project #2--4X4 Blocks

Time: 30-45 minutes

Cost: $10.00 Each

They are fun and easy to assemble. They come painted in red, green, brown, black or cream. The participants will have a wide variety of holiday themed papers which they will mod podge to their blocks. The blocks typically need a couple of coats, but dry quickly. When dry they will apply their lettering. The blocks double sided with one holiday on each side and are finished by tying together with ribbon. One of my favorite things about this project is that everyone's project looks a little different with all of the options to customize.
