Artful Paper OrnamentsTuesday, December 15th, 6:30 - 9:30pm, at Kozo Arts, 1969A Union Street, San Francisco
Tired of the same old ornaments? Create holiday ornaments that express a festive sentiment by combining elegant Japanese Chiyogami papers, vintage imagery and words. Learn tips and tricks on how to cut and layer elements. Then embellish them with lots of glitter. Hang them from branches or decorate your tree with them. Give them as gifts or place them in an envelope instead of a holiday card. This decoupage class is great for beginners as well as seasoned crafters.

I like to float my ornaments from a tree branche that seems to be suspended in mid air.
The words express qualities that I want to invoke for the year ahead.
Beautiful wrapped gifts become decorative objects.
I used sparkly embossing powder on the gift tags.
Printing On Fabric - creating a custom table-setting
coming in January
We will hand carve buttery-soft rubber stamps with a leaf motive and use them to print on a set of cotton napkins. You will learn about fabric paints, their application and how to mix colors. The same stamps then can be used to print on paper. We'll create a paper wardrobe to decorate your table: from the dinner-invitation, napkin rings to place-cards and more.
