sfg recap: flowers, pumpkins, and creation care.

Hello! This morning, I led my arts and crafts small group. I improvised this quick coffee filter flower craft due to our limited resources. And they turned out so pretty! A lot of us made multicolored flowers, which looked so nice together. I love how the colors run down to the rest of the filter because of the water.

The Process
1. Fold and scrunch up coffee filter(s)
2. Dampen the edges
3. Dip edges in watercolors
4. Add green pipe cleaner for stem
5. Create a colorful bouquet :)

I’ll post a more detailed tutorial (not that it’s complicated…) later. 

We also made these pumpkins out of yarn, which I love. I don’t understand how they end up looking like pumpkins, but it is amazing. I am definitely going to make these with different colored yarn (red for apples) soon. My roommate and I will probably have a room full of pumpkins and flowers in no time.

Before crafting, we talked a little about some good, eco-friendly books, one of which I have already posted about.

PS. Today would have been my Aunt Linda’s 50th Birthday, so we are having a family get together. My mom texted me this morning and told me she wanted to start looking for a kitty, which she would call Lindy Lou :)
