What a cute little mini to house some fun photos of the circus, zoo, kid's birthday parties or...?

Fancy Heels Pin Cushion with Carol MurphySaturday, July 28, 2012 • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM




 
Join us for this unique embellishments class combining your love of fancy shoes, snazzy stick pins and beautiful handmade flowers. Create two high heel pin cushions and learn how to fashion a floral focal point. Then create six stick pins to add to your mixed media projects.
Carol will have several choices of shoe kits to choose from, one patterned vintage colors (using mauve, vintage blues and greens, pinks, peaches, light yellows, off white, white, etc.) and one shoe with a black and white/cream pattern. Papers are from Graphic 45, Prima, and 7 Gypsies. You may choose to leave your shoe plain and maybe just create your stick pins on the side. Whatever you prefer is fine. Kits include matching flowers and bling, stick pins, beads, fabrics, laces, shoe die cuts, feathers, pearls, and other assorted ephemera. Each kit is unique and will be chosen at the time of class.
Please bring to class: glue gun (necessary for quick bond of flowers and fabrics), ¼ inch score tape or redline tape (something super sticky, not double-sided regular tape) fabric scissors or scissors to cut fabric with, and E-6000 or jewelry glue.
