This Wednesday, September 11th, 2013 from 9pm – midnight or later, at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: Spool Creatures!
$2 Processing fee
$4 Cosmopolitans! The Akbar Cosmo: Something Special in the Bar
When’s the last time you took a good long look at a spool? Turns out it’s been quite awhile for me, what an AMAZING craft opportunity! You can make spool people, spool animals, spool monsters, you can paint’em or glue stuff to ’em or just wrap string around ’em and drag ’em around on the floor to amuse your cat, or even just to amuse yourself. Just don’t eat ’em.
Because spools are such a diverse craft with infinite opportunities to personalize your project, I’m bringing all the bits you need, from fancy plastic gems, to pipe cleaners (to form little limbs) and paint, and beads (to make weird-looking hands and feet), and thread. I’ll also have idea sheets to spark your imagination, because I just can’t believe how many fun things there are to make with spools.
On another note: I’ll have a weird seasonal candy for you to try. Without revealing what it is, turns out that “seasonal” vaguely sums it up. When discovering this item in the candy aisle, it became apparent that the only thing to do is offer up crafters as candy guinea pigs to review the product! Our findings will be posted on the Gothtober Blog. As a matter of fact, each week at CraftNight, we will try and review a different autumn “edible” product as a service to the public. Ever since we reviewed Candy Corn Oreos last year, it became apparent that informing the public about “edible” Halloween products can be helpful.
See you at the Craft Table,
