• BEGINNING SIMPLE ORNAMENTS           3.5 HRS                                $150  
  No more waiting for your finishing to come back when you can take control and do it yourself! Round flat cookie ornaments are simple to manage. Under the expert guidance of Kelly Starke, a national teacher who has a professional finishing workshop in Massachusetts, you’ll learn how easy it can be to make your own ornaments along with its twist cording. Imagine stitching a small canvas during the week and being able to give it as a gift the next weekend.  Learn all the fundamentals of finishing a flat cookie style ornament which can be applied to your other finishing in the future, like coaster inserts, signs and larger pieces.  You’ll receive 3.5 hrs. instruction, all materials needed, a list of equipment so you can duplicate the supplies at home, access to online videos so you can be guided when working alone. The kit includes everything needed to make your ornament except the fabric you’ll need for the back.  We will have a large selection for purchase on day of class or bring your own 8” x10”  piece. You’ll choose your own cording colors on site which is also included as part of your kit.
