November meeting - 8th

Hi everyone,

How time flies, November already!

First of all for those that didn't come last month the annual subs of £12 are due please along with your usual sub of £2. Sorry to repeat myself but this helps covers costs of rents when there are not many attending (such as last month) and also the luxury of going out for a Christmas meal which we hope to do again.

It would be nice to see everyone next week, if you can't make it but wish to come to the meal and continue with craft club please could you get in touch with me.

I called into the Hesketh Arms to collect a menu and must say it looks very nice again, I will bring it with me on Tuesday. It's £15.45 per head £10 of which club will pay. Club night falls on the 13th December so we will stick to that date and hopefully the same time.



Right on to the project - we will be making some milk cartons and a holder! These are perfect little gifts to fill with chocolates or whatever you fancy



This project is easier if you have one of the larger numbered scoreboards rather than a card blank board but you can use your trusty pencil, ruler and scoring tool.

You will need:-

Scoreboard / Pencil / Ruler / Score tool
Strong tape or wet glue

For the Milk Cartons

2 sheets of A4 card
Patterned paper/card for matting and layering (I've used two layers)
(4 pcs 6.5 x 7.5 cm) (4 pcs 6 x7 cm) (2 pcs 5 x 6.5 cm) (2 pcs 4.5 x 6 cm)
Two bulldog clips

For the Container

1 piece card measuring 20.5 cms x 13.5 cms
1 piece card measuring 29.5 cms x 14.5 cms
Patterned paper/card for matting and layering (I've used two layers)
(21.5 x 14 cm and 20.5 x 13.5 cm)
Ribbon for decorating / Sentiment or Image optional

Last but not least it's Tina's birthday this month so don't forget your card.

See you all next week
