Pirate Treasure Box Ahoy, Matey! If you dig pirates, you'll have a great time decorating this treasure box and making it look old. First you'll cover a wooden box with brown paint, then use silver, gold, and rhinestones to embellish the skull and crossbones on top. Next, learn how to dry brush the box so that it looks like you dug it out of the ground. Finally, choose ten shiny glass gems to place inside to begin your treasure collection.

Bears, Bunnies and People Dolls Both boys and girls love these 7” stuffed toys (teddy bears or people) that will last through years of imaginative play. Create the animal or character of your choice, first by drawing on faces, toes, and other features, and then by making costumes for them from felt and cloth pieces, buttons and ribbon.
Choices for Ages 8 and up:
Decopatch Animals Choose your favorite animal from a menagerie of wildlife: elephants, giraffes, zebras, turtles, dolphins, and more. Then find just the right bits of patterned papers to turn them into magical objets d’art. This project, which always has beautiful results, is best for those who love little details and don’t mind sticky fingers.
Appliqué Candles This candle becomes a world of butterflies, a sky of stars, or anything you can imagine. You’ll cut thin pieces of beeswax into shapes using special punches and scissors, then apply them to a pillar or ball-shaped candle. Learn how to turn geometric shapes into animals and layered designs, and try the technique that creates sky, clouds, and ocean – all in wax!
Best Friends Frame come your own celeb! Create a frame that shows your name in ‘lights’ (clear, magnifying marbles) surrounding your favorite photo. This plain frame starts out white, and you apply special inks with pens and markers for your own unique design. Add your personalized stones for a message loud and clear – you are the star of your own life!
Alphabet Accents These sturdy initials, 5” high, will tell a story – a sunny picture you paint with acrylics, or a patchwork of patterned papers you brush on with a glue/glaze. The result: an illustrated monogram to hang on a wall or sit on a shelf.
Opti Art Mosaic Box This mosaic treasure box is embellished three different ways. First, you create an original work of art (or choose from a selection of printed designs) with colored pencil, then top it with tiny clear beads. Paint the entire box in a colorful palette, then glue on a layer of bright mosaic tiles. This one’s a real keeper!
Painted Wall Canvas Are you a modern-day Van Gogh or Michaelangelo? Create a painting on a miniature (6” x 6”) canvas that you can hang on your wall or give as a gift. Choose from an assortment of pre-printed designs, or create your own. Learn about the color wheel and mix your own hues on an artist’s palette for an unforgettable artist’s date for you and your friends.
Stained Glass Suncatcher Capture the sun’s rays through bits of real stained glass. Working with your own design or one of ours, you’ll choose a round or square surface and a selection of transparent glass tiles in all the colors of the rainbow. Finished with a bead-and-wire hanger, the sun catcher is ready to hang in your window.
Sun Mirror This hanging ornament is beautiful on both sides. On the front, it is covered with your choices of patterned papers, that you apply with a glue/glaze. On the back is a 3” mirror so you can look at your own beautiful face! What a way to start the day!
Choices for Ages 10 and up:
Sushi Candles Let’s have a sushi party! We’ll set out a platter of ingredients: beeswax in all the colors you need to create 4 mini candles that look a lot like sushi. Roll centers of avocado, cucumber, and salmon, then surround them with layers of rice. Finish with a wrap of nori and place on a wooden platter with grass and a dash of wasabi and ginger. Take home to enjoy on the family dinner table.
