Aug. 10th, 2004 07:28 pmWith school starting tomorrow for me, I realized now would be a good time to pose a question.
I'm starting a craft club at my school next year. It will meet two times per month, the first week focusing on a community service project (making blankets for newborns, hats for the homeless, decorations for retirement homes, etc.), while the second week will be focused on "show-and-tell" and a craft to take home.
With that in mind, here are my questions.
What's a good name for a craft club at a high school? I'm supposing it needs to be at a level of sophistication, but I can't really think of anything that would fit. And also,
What are some crafts for teenagers that will cost around $5 each? I've looked in the memories, and I came up with the following: melt and pour soap, decoupage frames, seed bead mini-notebook, basic knitting, magnetic poetry, and decoration of Altoid tins or AOL tins. Whether these are plausible for under $5, I'm not sure.
Any suggestions for either question is highly appreciated. I know I can count on all of you craftgrrls&boys.
And since nobody likes a text-only post, here is a pair of earrings I made for my mom for her birthday. They're fairly simple in style, and she absolutely adored them! :]
