What about arts and crafts?

Are you familiar with polymer clay? There are several brands, but for limitless projects, I recommend finding some colors at a craft store (I found mine at Michaels). Youtube.com has lots of tutorials to help you get started with beads, canes, and small sculptures. A very simple tiny pig tutorial is given here: itty bitty piggy




 This clay must be baked once it is sculpted into its desired shape. Our club made beads. You can make any kind of bead you want from solid, to marbled, to what is called millefiori. how to do

Tired of the same old thing?

Have you done the same thing year after year for a particular building project? This blog is designed for leaders and members of building projects to share ideas and rejuvenate each other.


As a leader, I find it is always hard to find a project that doesn't take too much time to complete. Complicated projects mean that we can lose interest in it before we finish it. Here is a simple, no sew fleece blanket that is a great starter project for clothing and textiles. no sewing, really!
