September Craft Club

Next Craft Club is Tuesday 3rd September at Atlantis Books from 5.30 to 7.30pm.

This month we'll be getting knotted! Yes, that's right - we're going retro, back to the 1970s and trying our hand at macram
é! We're going to make these macramé keychains - don't worry, they're suitable for beginners. If you can tie your shoelaces you can make these!




Please bring any of the below if you have it:
  • Craft mat if you have one
  • Pins - you might need them to keep your work straight
  • Scissors
  • cord or wool
  • a ring
  • a wooden bead, or similar - if you don't have one, you can make a chain without it (we'll also have some you can use).
And to get you in the mood, here's a simple guide to getting knotted! (or getting started with the basics of macrame!) 



Please email lwewicraftclub@gmail.com if you plan to come, so we know to expect you; we can only fit 10 in, so need to know numbers in advance. Also email us for more information if you haven't come before and want to know more!


As ever tea, coffee and delicious biscuits will be served.

August Craft Club - What We Made

At our meeting in August, Nicky led us in turning some old, unwanted paperback books into these wonderful hedgehogs, thorough some simple folding techniques and a spot of glue-gunning. Simple to do but so effective!

Next month we hope to be turning our hands to a spot of macrame.
