Teaching Star books

I taught my last class for the year yesterday - Star Books.

I made notes for class handouts and here I am all packed and ready to share supplies and inspiration

It sure spreads out on a table

and soon becomes messy ;-)

These were my samples for inspiration for the day

The students fully embraced the mess and sharing nature of such a project

As a bonus I taught them how to make lovely crusty tyvek beads

They'll look great attached to their tie closures - just got a photo of one completed :-)

After a couple of hours of making pages, they were ready to put their books together

Don't they look awesome? (click on any photo to see it larger)

All different in colours - all so lovely. View from the top shows their star shape a bit.

It was a VERY fun day for everyone concerned. 

Everyone was talking about the next one they're going to make and I'm happy to say they've said they want me back to teach something else next year ♥
