Crafty Saturday

grimes

We will be making treat plates for any upcoming holiday, season, or event. Bring a fat quarter of a fabric you would like to use (basic cotton), or choose from what we have on hand. We will use Mod Podge to secure the fabric to the underside of a glass plate. Use it at your next friends and family gathering, or use it to gift cookies for a loved one.
