Share your love for the planet and your love for friends, family, classmates,

or that Special Someone with Valentines you make with creative reuse materials.  

This Saturday, February 12, sign up for a 90-minute Valentine-Making workshop led by

master crafter Bonnie Tawse.

Choose your own materials from the CCRx Warehouse --  a rainbow of ribbons, fabric, stamps, stickers, and a huge array of beautiful paper.  Add fun, unusual items like ballerina-pink tulle, vintage office supplies, silk flowers, and who knows what you'll discover??   

And everything has been saved from the landfill.

Make origami hearts, learn new techniques.

You will take home your own Valentine(s) and/or all the components you need.

$20   Includes materials + inspiration. 

Space is limited -- sign up today!
