In honor of National Craft Month, we’ll be linking to some of the brilliant crafts we come across online. I love this so much it almost makes me wish I had a toddler again! It’s by Roubidou and part of Made By Rae’s awesome Celebrate the Boy series.

Out with the old and in with the re-newed, as we craft our way into a green 2011! This winter, join us as we make beads out of paper and create new jewelry out of broken and neglected old pieces. It’s always fun to be eco-friendly at TCL! We’ve also added day and night sections of our knit and crochet workshops, in several different levels — something for every busy schedule. So, start your year off right by treating yourself or someone you love (classes make a great last-minute holiday gift!) to one of our great workshops: TCL Class Schedule

Next Friday (10/22, 3-4PM), we’ll gather to make one-of-a-kind Halloween masks. This is a great family activity, and it will help get you started in fashioning your Halloween costume. We’ll supply you with everything you’ll need to make silly, scary, or stunning masks.
If you’d like to sign up for the class, please visit our website:http://thecraftlounge.com/, e-mail us: info@thecraftlounge.com, or call: 201/944-3311.
Thanks!
I can’t tell you how many complaints I’ve heard about rabid squirrels destroying people’s poor pumpkins. Well, we’ve found a way to foil those pesky critters: Faux Pumpkins! They look just like the real thing, but they’ll never get moldy & they don’t taste great either! We have 4 spots open for the Faux Pumpkin Carving Class (Family-Friendly). Enrollment is open until Thursday.
We’ll supply you with a very realistic-looking faux pumpkin, and we’ll teach you how to carve that baby so that you can enjoy it year after year, and no one will be the wiser.

What could be better than a cool mobile? A mobile made from shrink plastic and chopsticks, that’s what! The Tuesday Craft Club crew spent yesterday afternoon busily drawing away. Next week, we’ll assemble their mobiles. These will look so great hanging in the kids’ rooms!

We thought it might be fun to bring some of the beach back home. So, on July 15th from 2:15-3:15PM, kids are invited to sign up to make these cute beachy picture frames.
Beachy Picture Frame
We’ll start with a solid, wood frame and we’ll bust out the sand and seashells for maximum beach effect! If you’d like to sign up your kids, please register here: Class Registration.
