The Projects

VINTAGE INSPIRED PHOTO FRAME 


Come learn the french art of "decoupage" (oui!oui!) with the lovely ladies of Waconia's own, "The Shop Around The Corner".
These ladies are no strangers to creating repurposed and vintage inspired items to make life more fun.

Customize your frame with hand selected paper and embellishments, and add your favorite picture.

A great gift for a handmade loving someone, but you'll want to keep this one for yourself.





SET OF 4 TILE COASTERS


Using papers sold at Jim Gilbert's Wild Bird Store, Pat teaches you how to transform plain hardware store ceramic tiles into a unique gift set of 4 drink coasters.

Once you learn how to make these, you'll be whipping them up to say thank you to every hostess with mostess you encounter.

The Wild Bird Store sells more than just birding supplies; pair your handmade coasters with a unique gift from the shop for that extra special hostess.





ARTISAN DESIGNED COPPER SCARF PIN


One of Clearwater Clothing's own jewelry arists has created this scarf pin design just for you.

Made from copper wire, you will learn how to flatten (and release some serious frustration via the pounding) and manipulate the wire into this beautiful creation.  

A perfect accessory to give your scarf some individual style this season AND you can wow people by telling them you made this one by yourself! 



REPURPOSED BOTTLE VASES

Avis will help you be "green" as well as teach you how to turn an old wine bottle into these graphic vases.

Add some sprigs of Curly Willow, your spring lilacs, or ask the "masters" of Curly Willow Floral and Gifts for floral arranging tips.

You'll have a look that is all your own. (And you can say you're saving the environment, one bottle at a time.)

In true Stash style, these girls will also show you how to wear your new statement piece for day or night.
