Learn the ABC’s of thread painting while making these beautiful flowers. During the class we will work on exercises and techniques before the actual project. Even beginners will enjoy this class. We will be making a binder cover decorated with our flowers. Learn how to assemble a basic book cover with a pocket as an added plus! This is a really fun technique that is easy to do when you learn how. Use these new skills to decorate panels, shirts and even add to your art journals!
