π§βπ» Preparing for a new craft session. What goes into it? I thought I'd document all of the process to show exactly how much time and effort it takes to be ready to teach a new skill...
Step one (done already) lots of research online, looking for ideas, chatting with volunteers and group members about what ideas people might like...
Step two. Pick an idea. Grab all of the materials and pack them up. Follow tutorials and work with volunteers to try out and practice skills. That's what I did tonight with Liz Simpson βΊοΈ
Check out our first attempts at ribbon embroidery and beaded cards. We figured out the designs by eye and now have templates ready for showing people more easily.
