All Around Fun Blooms

                             
                         
There was something blooming in the air thanks to paper and craftiness at the All Around All Stars 4-H Arts and Crafts Club.  Continuing their work from their April meeting the club members grew their skill sets into something new and exciting.
  Lead by parent Anna Marie Hatcher the club members learned about quilling.  Quilling is an art form where strips of paper are rolled, cut, glued, to form different shapes such as flowers, animals, and objects.  By placing several of the roles together designs and intricate patterns can be developed.  The designs can be placed on paper to create 3-D art designs, invitations, thank you notes, as well as stand alone designs for play and display.
  Youth learned that this is an art form that takes patience and creative thought to make happen.Youth and volunteers learned to make daisies, roses, and other unique flowers.  The goal is to make enough flowers to fill the painted pots they made at the last meeting.  The flowers will be secured using plaster of paris and given to shut ins, the sick, and elderly to brighten their days.  The youth had fun making the new flowers and will be spending more time with this creativity project to fill them up.the club's next meeting will be June 6, at the 4-H office.  For more information please contact the 4-H staff at (910) 671-3276.
