Friendship Crafts

I had the pleasure of teaching a group of young women from church some simple friendship crafts.

They were attending a camp for four days where they learnt about so many things like survival, food preparation, teamwork, health, manners and etiquette, sewing, hand crafts, paper craft and so on.

The project we worked on was a bead bracelet and small card with a treat to give to a friend. I made up packs for each girl (there were about 350 girls!) to save on time.

The card had to be very basic (because of numbers)...First they each stamped an image on the white circle, stuck it to the coloured scallop flower and then attached the flower to a mint patty candy. They then attached the whole thing to a square piece of card (where they wrote their little note). Easy!

Most of the girls hadn’t been exposed to this type of craft before, but they all did such a fantastic job and were really excited to try.



This month has really crept up and because I’ve been away AND we're on a quest to simplify Christmas, I haven’t gone near my craft room to make any Christmas cards...I guess we’re going digital this year :D. I did however manage to make some quick and simple Christmas cards for the boys school teachers yesterday.


I hope all your Christmas preparations are going well and remember...
Jesus is the reason for the season. xo
