Honey, I Shrunk the Zipply Art! Mini Charms Class
When: Saturday, April 20, 2024
Time: 300 PM - 430 PM
Where: LaVista Community Center, 8116 Parkview Blvd, La Vista, NE 68128
Instructor: Rhonda Berman
Class Fee: $45 (All Supplies Included)
Class Level: Beginner
We will be making Mini Charms using zippers, roving and embellishments. A zipper is hand sewn onto wool felt making an outline of a design. The inside is then filled in with wool roving using the technique of needle felting. By using a smaller zipper, the mini charms are about the size of a quarter.
Time in class will allow for the making of 3 to 5 charms, however each student will go home with the patterns/pictures of ALL 10 different charms.
Students will learn also how to prepare a zipper and apply a pattern. Instruction of needle felting will also be included in this class as well as embellishment tips.
Finishing options will include examples of how to use the mini charms and a list of additional tools needed (jump rings, plyers, etc.). Some options are listed below.
Bracelet - Dangle Charms or linked together
Earrings – different charms or the same in reverse (will show how to flip the design)
Knitting markers
Buttons
This class is open to all skill levels. If you can thread a needle, you can do this art form, however very sharp needles are used so it is preferable if students are at least 12 years of age. Needle felting experience is a plus but not a prerequisite for this class.
