Crafters Co-op, where EVERY day is Earth Day!

Scrappy Headbands, Summer Camps and More!

"Scrappy" Upcycled Headbands (Adult and Infant)

Upcycled Upholstery Trim with Button and Sequin Embellishment-Hair Clip

We've been having way too much fun at Crafters Co-op!  It is so rewarding to create beautiful accessories from what would normally be a "throw-away" item(s).

So, we are announcing our first monthly "Make Somethin' Out of Nothin'" night for next Saturday (June 2nd) from 7-9 p.m.  Here are the details:

Location:  910 Pioneer, Oak Harbor, at Crafters Co-op
Cost: $10 and a snack to share (BYOB optional)
Details:  No supply cost, as we will be creating hair accessories, pins/brooches (and anything else you choose) from our "scrap" baskets of fabrics and trims.  You can create as many as you choose in the two hour period and may add one embellishment (i.e. button, feather or bling) to each item.  At the end of the evening, all in attendance will vote, and the winner of the cutest/most creative will not have to pay the $10 for the evening.  :)

Register in the shop or 632--4200 or www.facebook.com/whidbeycrafts.

Also, our June class schedule will be out on Tuesday.  We'll have our normal offering of fiber arts, sewing and papercraft classes, but will also have a beginning quilting class meeting one evening a week for the entire month of June.  This will fill up quickly, so sign up soon!

Don't forget to sign up for our SUMMER CRAFT CAMPS for youth!  Grades 1-5 in the mornings (9-11:30) and Grades 6 and up from 1-3:30 pm.  $125 for all week and includes all supplies for fun, yet practical projects completed each day!  All instructors background checked.

Banners, Pennants and Needle Felting Kits!

Even the fiber artists in the co-op are having fun with our hugely expanded paper crafts section.  We've been creating "yarn wraps" for our handspun and handpainted skeins, lettering for the shop windows and more!

We are now offering custom made banners and pennants...both from paper and vintage fabrics.  Come by and see our samples hanging in the shop.  :)

Hayley, our newest co-op member, specializes in sewing, costuming and alterations.  But, she is also a recycled/upcycled artisan extraordinaire.  We were all a bit skeptical when she told us she was going to bring in wall art made out of......toilet paper rolls!  Yet, we had to apologize for our jokes, because the creations are spectacular and beautiful.  They are being offered for sale (only $7) and she will be scheduling classes for this upcycled wall art along with her heart banners made out of reclaimed books.

Finally, Adrianna is home from college and spent her first day at the shop creating wonderful needle felting kits.  More than ten different 100% wool rovings, a felting needle and felting foam, all with instructions in a vintage metal tin...for the very reasonable price of $11.95.  :)

Come by and see what's new at Crafters Co-op....where EVERY day is Earth Day!
