Tween/Teen Crafternoon Recap: Duct Tape Craft!

Today, I hosted a Tween/Teen Crafternoon featuring Duct Tape Crafts with 7 tween/teens! This was a big hit and we only covered two crafts. We went from 2 PM to almost 3:30 PM making bows and wallets. Here are a few highlights of our creations.

The Duct Tape we had today. Guess which were the most popular!*

Crafters figured out how to make bows of different sizes.

 We were so focused making wallets that I forgot to get pictures! After most wallets were done, some added their bows, added designs, and more to their wallets to personalize them!

*The most popular duct tapes? Bacon, teal, and pink.

Like these crafts? We're bringing Duct Tape back in February. Just want to craft? Join us in January for our next Tween/Teen Crafternoon.

Bow Ties are Cool!

Especially duct tape bow ties. Like this:

The sun looks snazzy today!

 Of course, you don't have to make a bow TIE. You could take a HAIR BAND bow, or add a bobby pin to it and make a HAIR bow or you could make a bracelets. The possibilities are endless. I'll just show you how to make the bow.

Bows like this are just one of the options at our upcoming Tween/Teen Crafternoon: Duck/Duct Tape on December 28. A basic wallet and bracelet will be available to make and then customize!

 

Or how about this guy? He looks great with a bow tie.

Tween/Teen Crafternoon - Marble Magnet Fun!

Our first Tween/Teen Crafternoon, on January 26 at Blue Bell, was a success! We had 3 teens all together participating in making lovely magnets. We introduced ourselves and chatted about music, books, and helped each other find various pictures. I basically said, "we'll craft until we run out of supplies." We ran out of magnets first...at about 3:30 PM...

Anyway, check out some of the awesome creations!

Join us in February for Tween/Teen Crafternoon. We have two dates and two locations:

• Saturday, February 16, @ 2 PM @ Ambler
• Saturday, February 23, @ 2 PM @ Blue Bell

Oh, right. Pics or it didn't happen.

Eyes are really cool for this project.

There's a blue marble in there.

The glue wasn't done drying when the photo was taken, but check out the assortment!

Tween/Teen Crafternoon: Make This on Jan. 26!

Recognize a certain character or certain book cover?

Have you been wondering what a "Marble Magnet" is? Well, look no further! I finally made a few examples to show you exactly what they are. We'll actually have the larger sized "marble" available for the event (that's the rooster). The small ones were some I had laying around. Do you recognize a few of the examples?

These simple to make magnets are addicting. Once you get started you can see all kinds of possibilities for your own magnet art.

Our first Tween/Teen Crafternoon* is meeting this Saturday, January 26 at 2 PM at Blue Bell. Join us! Registration requested.



*Tween/Teen Crafternoon is a new series of events just for the crafty tween and teen! We'll make a different craft each month (as the schedule allows). There will be a meeting at Ambler and a meeting at Blue Bell. Join in to suggest new crafts.
