Handmade flowers are all the rage and they are so fun and inexpensive to make! Come to this class and let me show you how to make 10 different flowers. You can then take them home to use on any project. Everything will be pre-cut for this class, but you will need to bring a tape runner, glue dots, piercing tool, and micro-tip scissors.

 RSVP by July 10th to reserve your spot! Payment is not due until day of class, but I do need to order your kit.   You are also able to order this kit long distance as it comes with cutting grids, photos, and full instructions.  The stamped images are pre-stamped when you order long distance.

This is a fabulous way to earn FREE product this summer!
