Creating At Home #12

​Fall brings with it great smells. Try our Creating At Home Idea #12-Making Pomanders – an old fashioned treasure.

This may require a trip to the store but is well worth it. 

Two simple ingredients will get you on your way to a bowl of aromatic goodness…

You will need:

-Oranges (just one or a whole bag!)

-Jar of Whole Cloves

Now for the fun part: Make your clove patterns on the oranges by pressing the pointed end of a whole clove into the skin of a whole orange with the peel still on. you can play around with designs and patterns.

If you make a large batch of Pomanders you can display them in a bowl and enjoy their Sweet smell.

​Material of the Week 12/5-12/11

​Mint Tins!

These tiny tins are ready for creativity! They’d make cool gift boxes, storage containers, tiny robots or even tiny houses. Whats more, they’re not heading to a landfill because they have more to do!

Let’s see what they become this week!

Ornament Making…

​Love these keepsake ornaments made by little hands with Artist Renee Fly of @flygurl_designs at yesterday’s workshop. To capture their drawn styles by printmaking was fun stuff to watch unfold.

Pinspired…

​This month our Pinspired Night had a little influence by a throwback project from #countrylivingmag from last year. We love the way these Chicken Wire Christmas trees turned out!  

Uplcyling rules!

Painting…

​We had fun with Troop 61037 exploring painting for a Daisy Petal. Painting was one of Girl Scout Founder, Juliette Gordon Lowe’s personal interests and recycling is one of ours so the girls got a kick out of the painting process using recycled stuff.

The Snow Queen Cometh..

​Looks like the Ice Queen left her crown at the studio today. No wondering a bit chilly in here.

Snowpeople

​A sneak peak at our Pinspired Night. I think snowpeople are going to be the go to for our crafty folks tonight.

​Thankful day 29 is for the random stuff of life. Random can be very inspiring. Things can seem arbitrary on their own but when assembled with some purpose they take on a whole new  vibe.
