Description
Get ready for Hearts & Crafts Night with Ms. Y.! The world needs more love in it, so let's make a thoughtful handmade gift to give to your valentine. Participants will make a special tray for keys, coins, rings, or anything they need to keep safe. You also get to make a card to show you care.
Each participant decorates one tray using mixed media such as images, disco tiles, letters, paint, fur, felt, beads, and more. Blank cards with envelopes are provided to create the perfect note to go along with the gift. Guided by Ms. Y., participants will design and create the perfect tray, sealed for their loved one to keep and cherish. All materials provided; no experience required.
