Maker Academy Bonus Info + Welcome!
Welcome Maker Academy Crafters! My name is Jen Swift, and I’m SO glad you’re here. We’re going to have the best time creating together during this event! There are soooo many holiday projects I’m super excited about.
I’m also SUPER excited to share MY Maker Academy Weekend Workshop with you! ALL the workshops I do are special – but this one feels, well, magical ✨. And in the spirit of the holiday season this project can be both a gift to ourselves, as well as a gift for others.
How? It’s basically a coloring page sticker! So you can color it yourself, or you can give it to someone else to color. And to make it even more gift-y I show you how easy it is to put the sticker (with it’s backing) on a card so it can be pulled off by the receiver.
