The 8x10 boards do fit in the 12x13 Priority Mail shipping boxes ($6.95 rate) so you can easily make one to send!

Invite Your Neighbors! Craft days are a great way to get to know new people!

New Sign-Up Procedures: This craft comes with your choice of vinyl in several colors. To best organize our order for the supplier we're asking that you FIRST go buy your scrapbook paper, paint and ribbon and then select the vinyl color that coordinates. Next fill out one of the new sign-up slips and mail the bottom portion with a check. Your kits will be added to the group order at the time you submit the slip with payment. Our order will be submitted for production on Tuesday March 31 for guaranteed arrival before our May 1 craft day. Please note that there is not a sign-up sheet! You'll need to use the new sign-up slips if you plan to attend the craft. (Please hand-deliver sign up slips after March 25. Any slips that are mailed after that date may not arrive before the order is submited on 3/31.)


Print Your Sign-Up Slip Online Now!

1. Click here to open the printable sign-up slip webpage
2. Once the page opens, hit the Print icon on the top right toolbar or type Ctrl-P to print.
3. Follow the form directions to purchase your supplies and submit payment


Materials You Will Need To Provide For Yourself:

1 sheet of scrapbook paper per board (8.5x11 or 12x12 inches)

Ribbon: 24 inches (2/3 of a yard) in 5/8 or 1 inch thickness to coordinate with paper color

Edited To Add: 34 inches of Ribbon is required if you wish to do a band WITH A BOW as shown in the examples! Just buy a spool. It's easier and allows for mistakes. :)

Acrylic Craft Paint: one 2-oz bottle (1/3 of a bottle needed for each board)
OR 1/4 of a cup of interior wall paint may be used in place of acrylic craft paint.

Note: Acrylic craft paint is the 'regular' type of craft paint sold in little bottles and dozens of colors at Wal-Mart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby & several other local stores. ANY brand and color of craft paint will work. You may also use flat or satin interior wall paint on the wood boards if you wish. The paint is to cover the thick wood sides and back, which will not be covered by scrapbook paper, so your gift board has a nice finished appearance.

All other assembly tools and materials will be supplied.

Now Available: Please contact Shantá Silver if you would like to purchase your own set of vinyl application tools for upcoming craft days and personal at-home use. Each set is $3 (exact wholesale cost plus shipping) for 1 vinyl application squeegee and 1 weeding & burinishing tool. Available now & strongly recommended if you'll be assembling kits on your own at home!

Valentine Treat Bucket Craft
