Come get in the Christmas spirit at the Dorcheat Museum, 116 Pearl Street.
“We are making no-sew Christmas ornaments,” said executive director Schelley Francis. “We supply the fabric and supplies while you supply your artistic talents … we will show you how!”
Francis said participants who would like to supply their own fabric and items to give their ornament a special touch “,….just give us a call and we can tell you what is best to use. “This is a great way to use baby clothes, old shirts from a loved one etc.”
From now until December 17, ornament makers will enjoy Christmas music, movies, and holiday refreshments at the museum.
“Come any time of day while we are open – 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. and 2 until 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday,” Francis said. “Plus we have added one Saturday date to our calendar in conjunction with happenings around Minden from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturday, December 17.”
Items needed to make ornaments are as follows:
Scissors
Hem gauge or ruler
flat head straight pens
pearl head pins
ribbon
Styrofoam balls
charms
coordinating fabric and ribbon
Takes about two hours to make an ornament so come to stay a while with us or you can start one and come back to finish the next day.
Cost is $10 per ornament all proceeds help pay for supplies and to support the museum.
Dorcheat Museum 116 Pearl Street will be decorated with a Glimpse of Christmas Past exhibit beginning December 1 through 31.
