Me and my friend Chloe are going to start a craft club in Autumn.
And we need craft ideas, Can you guys help us out?
It can be any type of craft, it doesnt matter.

Probably kids of all ages might be there.
Like, maybe 7 - 13 or something like that

Are you going to have "themes"? How often are you going to meet? How long will each "session" be? Will you be able to do projects that may take more than one day? Are you going to be meeting at someone's house? What type of supplies will you have access to?

You could teach them crochet or knit and have them make little gifts - hot pads, or scarves...

you could do baking and teach them to make bread or cookies or cupcakes or whatever.

You could do clay crafts - air dry clay as well as the polymer clay (if you have an oven to bake it in). Acrylic paints work well on the air dry clay...

You could also do paper crafts - origami, make your own paper, scrap booking, making pictures with torn construction paper, etc.

Or, you could do string art, or paper mache, or . . . . .

My daughter works at the YMCA with the children to teach them art. I am always on the lookout for new projects for her to teach the kids. I came across this site and I thought you could get some ideas from it too. http://www.crafts4kids.com/projects.htm It is awesome that you are starting a craft club. I always loved craft clubs when I was a kid. When I come across great ideas, I will send them your way.

You can also go to 3M.com and print out paper crafts.

I think a craft club is a great idea. Good for you.

Strangers are just friends that we haven't met yet.
