A little Necking

Come join Crown Town Handmade on Thursday, June 30th at 7:30 pm at Amelie's French Bakery for our monthly Make-Out session! This month we're delighted to be featuring Rachel Lock of My Art Event (www.myartevent.com) . Rachel will be leading the group in making soft summer scarves from recycled t-shirts.

Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring any old shirts or stop by the thrift shop to grab a few in your favorite colors. Make Outs are always free but of course we're happy to accept donations to keep the crafting alive. See you there!

Not A Normal Necktie

Your dad will most likely need to clean his closet to make room for the fantastic new ties he got this year.  Save a few from the Goodwill pile (or scrounge your local Goodwill) to make this awesome planter.
Full tutorial found on the Modcloth blog.

If you weren't there, you missed an awesome time! Catch us at our next one in June.

CTHm Stamp Workshop 5/26/11

We had a great turnout for the most recent CTHm Make-Out Craft Session, and everyone did great work! I taught "Carve a Stamp, Print a Postcard". My creative participants came up with all kinds of inkable images, including: stamped labels for canned jellies, business logos, self portraits and animal shaped stamps. Here's what the workshop was all about. I snapped these photos between instructions.
