Welcome Back!
Our first Meeting of the season!
Christmas Ornament Charity Project One of the Bead Society’s initiatives is to support the Guelph Women in Crisis services. With this goal we started the Christmas Ornament Project last year. We asked members to make and donate Christmas ornaments which will be sold at the Bead Show & Sale in October for $5 each. Ornaments made suitable to grace a Christmas tree, a gift package or card, etc.The first half of the meeting will be to show and share the Christmas ornaments that have been made.
The second half of the meeting will be spent making more ornaments as well as having the finished ornaments photographed.Please be prepared to participate in this fun and meaningful project by bringing a beading mat, scissors, a task light, extra beading supplies and any printed copies of instructions for making ornaments.
