Outdoor Art: Button Jewelry

Last Wednesday, 19 teens showed up for our outdoor craft program.  This is smaller than previous weeks, but that's probably because of the heat!  It definitely wasn't because of the projects--they were really cute.  We made button and bead bracelets, button jumble earrings, and knotted button necklaces.  The earrings were especially awesome.

Thanks to Katie, Amie, Kimberly, and Emily for helping with set-up and staying for the whole time.  Special thanks to Asa for jumping in to help clean up.  There is no craft next week, but come back on August 3 to make magnets.  See you then!

 Everyone was concentrating!

Cute as a Button!

Last Wednesday, 16 girls came to our button jewelry program. We made button ribbon choker necklaces, stretchy button bracelets, and stacked button earrings. We didn't even get to try some of the ring ideas I found, so there's definitely going to be another program. Meanwhile, come to Craft Closet Cleanout on Wednesday, May 27, from 3:30 to 5:00, to make more button jewelry and lots of other things!
