Join Awkward Nerd Events the 4th Sunday of each month for a crafty afternoon of making & mingling. Due to the Packers schedule, our venue for Fall is changing!

Crafternoons are 12-3pm at The Sugar Maple (441 E Lincoln Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207). You may bring food into Sugar Maple, but, please, no carry-in beverages.
Dates/craft themes are:
Sept. 29: Snappy Berets
Oct. 27: Sand Art Pictures (Venue TBD)
Nov. 24: Bargello Earrings
Dec. 29: Fancy Fascinators
Sept. 29: Snappy Berets - We will be creating Fall/Halloween fashion berets utilizing the Saint Snap System by @greedy.peasant. By purchasing our kit, you will receive a beret, 10 snaps, thread/needles, hot glue, super glue, access to decorations, and instruction on making your beret. You may bring your own unique decorations to apply. Then get ready for a fashion photo shoot to show off your creation!
Oct. 27: Sand Art Pictures - (our craft may not be the exact design pictured. I'm still testing out kits to find the best one for us!) Self adhesive boards will make creating this sand art easy! Peel the label of each section, cover with sand and continue! Keeps designs clean and neat.
Nov. 24: Bargello Earrings - Using the Rhiannon Earrings design from HelloBargello.com, we'll learn Bargello! Each participant will be given supplies to create 2 pairs of earrings and instruction on how to create and complete them.
Dec. 29: Fancy Fascinators - Just in time for NYE, we'll make cute, wearable art! Participants will be given supplies and instruction to create a super unique fascinator. We'll learn how to manipulate different materials, the best ways to attach them, and finishing techniques for a showstopping design. Everyone will want to know where you got it. ;-)
The number of kits we have for each project is limited, so don't wait if you'd like to participate in our activity! If the kits sell out or you want to work on your own project, there's no fee to join us! Just bring whatever you're working on and spend some time among crafty nerds.
**Purchases are non-refundable!** When you make your purchase, the items are purchased for you, so that money has been spent. If you are no longer able to attend, you may pass your kit along to someone else. Kit sales will end the week prior to the event. We will not offer kits for sale at the event as we cannot spend the money on a kit that might not be purchased. Thank you for understanding!
