June DIY was a blast!

Thank you to everyone that made it out to this month's Sweet DIY Craft Party.  As you can see, we had a blast designing our own headbands and hair snappers.  Everyone did such a fantastic job working from the supplies provided and creating something uniquely theirs.  Well done, ladies!

As always, the food is fantastic!  Thanks, Sweetspot!

Another sample headband perfect for girls that want to twinkle!

The first stop as our guests came in - the supply table

Most of us decided to hand stitch our flowers to snappers.

This month's Sweet DIY project

Have you already secured your tickets for this month's Sweet DIY Craft Party?  If not, you'll be missing out on another great do-it-yourself project that the Oh!Carousel gals developed just for this occasion.

This month is foofy headband month!  You'll have a general base of stretchy headband material to start with.  But, be thinking about how you want to foof it up to make it glamorous, exotic, or playful. 

What is a Sweet DIY Craft Party?  Consider it a healthy serving of creative atmosphere, a dash of tasty treats for the tummy, and a big ole cup of stretching your imagination to wash it all down! 

We provide the general idea or project theme.  But you get to have all the fun while you design the details, figure out how it all goes together, and actually construct your creation.  Then, at the end of the evening, we snap a photo of your work of art and you get to take home something you probably wouldn't have ever tried making at home.

Oh, and the best part is we clean up the mess for you!  So, we'll see you Thursday, hmmmm?

Recap of May Sweet DIY

If you were lucky enough to attend our first DIY Craft Party, you probably had a blast.  We thank everyone who attended and we wholeheartedly appreciate the enthusiasm for that wonderful thing called crafting. 

If you weren't able to attend, its OK.  You can still get tickets for June's session.  We'll be doing fun and frilly headbands this month!  See you then.

How do you beat a warm welcome of treats like this?
