Craft Project 4. Cards

The fourth craft project available at the fabulous Craft. Chat. and Chow.  is card making.  I don’t have an image of the exact cards we’ll be offering because it is just so hard to narrow it down.  But once I know…and have an image…you can be sure that you will too!  Just know that it will be a delightful selection of cards…with lots of simple steps for those new to card making and lots of room for creativity for others!! Be excited…be very excited!! 

Craft Project 3. Holiday Ornaments

I have to tell you…I am super excited about this next craft.  This project will feature several Holiday Ornaments to make.   They are simple and lovely and just perfect!  This project lends itself well to chatting while crafting…so if you like to catch up with your sisters while you work this is the craft for you!!!!  The ornaments vary in difficulty though each is quite simple to learn.   So start dreaming of the holidays and put away a few ornaments for your tree!

Craft Project 2. Hope Wires

It took me quite a while to decide on a title for this craft…and even Hope Wires is not sitting quite right with me.  Somehow it doesn’t capture the simple beauty of this craft.  Not to mention the infinite possibilities for interpretation and personal touches.  It is going to be quite the craft!

Just lovely isn’t it!  This “Hope Wire” has been made just the right size to wear as a necklace.  Yours can be bigger and hang on a door or wall, small to hang on a Christmas tree or in a window…its limitless really.  Oh…and did I mention it doesn’t even have to say hope!  We’ll have templates for all sorts of great words, or you can break off on your own and personalize it further!  The skies the limit with this one.  Not to completely burst your creative bubbles…but we will have lovely non-sterling silver wire for you!  There is a limit to the bling ladies!

Craft Project 1. Wreaths

There will be several craft projects available to suit the varying interests of our sisters.  Each project is free and can be completed in that evening.  (Unless of course your focus more on the chat than the craft!!!)  Crafts will vary in difficulty and complexity from beginner to avid crafter.  There will be something for everyone! 

One of our featured craft projects is wreaths.  There will be two different wreaths to choose from.  Each is a bit challenging but stunning when completed. 

The first is a felt ruffle wreath.  There will be several colors of felt available to work with.  If you have a specific color you would love to see there please let me know in an email or comment on this post.

The second wreath project is a Dress Tie Wreath.  The exact ties used on the wreath pictured will not be available…obviously!  But we will have an enormous selection of colorful ties to put together in a stunning arrangement.  If you have ties from your husbands collection that you would like to donate to this project that would be fabulous.

I’ll be back with more project previews soon.  Until then…dream of wreaths!
