Beth Patridge Meeting Room

Join us for a beginner/intermediate DIY craft that is sure to impress your Valentine 💝 ADULTS ONLY

Although Valentine's Day was on the 14th, that doesn't mean we can't treat ourselves or our loved ones to something special! This beaded felt heart is sure to impress, and can be a decoration for your house, an ornament, or a potpourri sachet for your clothes. Beginner/intermediate sewing skills will be required for this craft, since you will be handling a needle and thread, and very tiny beads. 

All supplies and instructions will be provided by the librarians, thanks to our Friends of Duncan Library 

🧵Supplies are limited so be sure to register! Registrants will get first priority! 🪡
