Over the Christmas holidays, we discovered that one of our local community centers offers crafting classes once a month. I love to do fun crafting projects. Crafting reconnects me to my mom, and it feels like she is right here with me when I do them. On Wednesday, I went to the crafting class for the first time. We made pom pom wreaths. There were only 4 of us in the class plus the instructor, but only 3 of us made wreaths this time.
The instructor, Michelle explaining what were were going to make.
I chose my pom poms that I was going to use.
I was armed with a hot glue gun and glued my pom poms onto the styrofoam ring, then put it aside while I painted the snowflakes. I chose winter colors. Michelle had brought a wide variety of pom poms, and then made more during the class as we needed them.
Michelle brought a whole bunch of different wooden snowflakes. I painted mine the colors of the pom poms. Then I added some glitter to them too.
And the finished wreaths. Mine.
And a group photo with our finished artistic wreaths. All of our wreaths were different and had their own personality.
It was a fun class and a fun project. I am already planning on going back again next month. Who knows what we will make, but I am going out on a limb to say it might have a Valentine theme. 🙂
After leaving, I went to pick up another project I had finished and got framed.
I like to keep busy, so I am always working on something. I have a couple of bigger projects already in the works too. One I am already about 1/2 way done with and the other is still in the idea phase. This one is going to be a challenge, so I am putting all the necessary pieces together before I start on it. Also, I like to finish one project first before moving on to the next. My mother always had a ton of projects in the works at the same time, but rarely finished them unless I prodded her along the way, since a lot of times we were working on the same things together. She would do part and I would do other parts. 🙂
No matter what you do, make it fun and have fun doing it. Have a great day and make everyday great. Life is what we make it.
