Holiday Ornament Workshop


I taught a holiday ornament workshop at the Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, CT earlier today. We had a lot of fun making an ornament from recycled cardboard and pages from discarded books! :)

Pics from the Dec 6th Craft Workshop!


We had an awesome group for the "Green Crafting" workshop with GreenEdge yesterday! It was at the Brooklyn Creative League, which I highly recommend checking out. They have a great set-up!


All of the projects I demo-ed involved recycled plastic bags. The first one we did was the Upcycled Plastic Bag Bangle.


Next we tried a few yummy locally produced wines.


And we finished up by making two styles of barrettes made from recycled plastics. :)
