This weeks color is: Royal Blue!

To sew a simple felt pouch, Just cut a long rectangle out of felt, fold one side of it up and stitch together, leaving a few inches of felt to fold over as a flap. We also cut a scallop out of a darker blue and attached it to the flap.

What are you going to make this week? Post pictures in the flickr group!

This weeks challenge just happens to be my favorite color! *PINK*

For this week we made some super simple party decorations. For the banner, Just cut pretty pieces of scrapbook paper into triangles, and then sew a piece of ric rac or ribbon onto them.

For the party hat, Just roll a piece of pink paper into a cone and embellish! Easy-Peasy-Lemon-Squeezy!

What is your favorite color? Is it pink?

This weeks color is Aqua Blue! The color of the ocean, peacock feathers, and blue Gatorade.

For our project, We screen printed an old shirt by cutting a stencil out of contact paper, sticking it to the shirt, and painting it. Be sure to put a piece of cardboard between the front and back of your shirt so that the paint doesn't go through both layers!
