Cabin Fever Reliever: Community Crafting Event

On Sunday, March 15, from 1:30-3:30 pm Friends of Sears Island will host an all ages community crafting program. Here’s a great chance to get out of the house and have a change of scenery while gathering with others to create a variety of fun projects! The program will be held at Mermaid Plaza at 1 East Main Street in Searsport. Friends of Sears Island will have several crafting stations set up, where participants can make decoupaged shell trinket dishes, springy cherry blossom and forsythia branch decorations, a mini toadstool and moss craft, felted friendship bracelets, button trees, and decorate rocks for your garden. Participants will have approximately 20 minutes at each station, allowing the option to make all the projects if desired. Spend the afternoon visiting with friends and neighbors and create some cheery items to brighten your home while we wait for spring!

This program is for all ages, young and old and in between, but children must attend with an accompanying adult. To help defray materials costs, we are suggesting a $5 donation per person, or $10 per family. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to outreach@friendsofsearsisland.org so that we can anticipate the quantity of materials we will need to have on hand. This also allows us to be in touch with you to remind you of the event and to share updates. Participants should wear old clothes or bring an apron or painting smock.
