[Nfb-krafters-korner] need craft project ideas

[Annette Carr]

Nella,

There are so many to choose from, but origami is always a good option.  You
could do 1 origami project and still have time for something else.  There
are many simple but useful origami models.  These include a box, a picture
frame, a wallet, a vase/pencil holder, and a cup for starters.  Write me off
list and we can discuss how I've taught origami projects to a group in
person.  You can write me at amcarr1 at verizon.net

Hello I would love some help from some of you or all of you.

Myself and another woman will be leading a craft workshop at our state
convention at the end of October.  We will have an hour and a half time
slot, so we need projects that can be done in that time frame.  Some of the
participants will have little to no crafting experience.  We would like to
have 2 or 3 projects so people can choose which to do.  The goal is to
promote the idea that a person can still enjoy crafting with little or no
vision.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.  I was thinking that maybe a
Halloween or Christmas tree decoration might be nice.

Also a project without a million supplies that are not too costly would be
preferable.

I look forward to hearing from all of you talented people.

Nella
