Have you been to Paris? Plan to go someday?  Or, maybe you just love all things Paris, like I do.   And, if you love antique photo albums too, then you won’t want to miss this class! 

You’ll create a beautifully covered album with an Eiffel Tower collage under glass and encased in rhinestones. I’ll show you how I’ve altered a 5x7 Idea-Ology book to create a vintage inspired binding with lace pockets, a peek-a-boo window, and a fun fabric board too!  We’ll use Paris themed paper (Glamour & Grunge) by Melissa Frances.  

This is an ADVANCED class – so have an early lunch before you get here and pack a power snack!

nonstick craft sheet

Embellishments are provided in class, however, if you have personal bits of lace or vintage jewelry

I saw a friend wearing a necklace like this, with a bell-like noise, and I fell in love with it!  I had to make one of my own, and now you can too.  In this class, you'll learn how to hand cut, drill and debur a vintage knife and transform it into a beautiful bell necklace, using a fork tine as the bell's clapper.  You can choose to embellish the face of your necklace with rhinestones, or keep it sophisticatedly simple with its gentle bell ring.  You'll go home with a beautiful, ready-to-wear, necklace.   A great gift for yourself, or for someone special!  Each class is limited to six students, so sign up early! 

All supplies are provided for this class.
