Kusudama flowers


Please bring with you, in addition to your mug:


Glue - either: narrow double sided tape and scissors 

            Or: Pritt Stick and ten or twelve paper clips for each flower


 Paper to make your flowers - For example: good quality wrapping paper, glossy magazine paper. Thick paper will make your flower harder to make!


To make one flower you need five squares, all the same size, in matching or contrasting colours. (Around 4 or 5 inches square). Bring your squares ready cut, or you can cut them on the day.


Beads or buttons to put in the centre of your flowers


There will be spares of everything if you arrive without!

Our Institute meeting today!

 

Our speaker gave us a fabulous insight into the life and paintings of Beryl Cooke. Such detail, such emotion and such a sense of humour! A great afternoon!

With our new start time of 2 o’clock, we were able to look at all of the activities and events on offer, as well as spend some social, catching up time, too. It was good to meet some of our new members as well as a couple of guests!
