Hey ladies, our ward's quarterly Relief Society Meeting is just a few weeks away. The Wednesday after General Conference we are gathering to make a Christmas tree craft. We really want you to be able to make something that you will like, so there are quite a few options. Great for individual creativity, a little tricky to explain.
Before getting into the what's and how's, here is a video about why. Elder Uchtdorf explains that creating is part of who we are in his talk "Happiness, Your Heritage".
Now for the fun stuff, what you can make!
Advent Calendar:
A count down for the 25 days until Christmas. (If you prefer 24, don't put in the top nail.) This craft will require hammering, so if you have one please bring a hammer. Nails and tags are provided. Tags are blank on the back for you to put on scriptures, numbers, etc.

If the advent calendar sounds too busy, just decorate your tree. We've got lots of things to make your tree beautiful.

Want to write messages on your tree? Use chalkboard paint. For the best coverage, use a roller brush.

This is a fun way to hang Christmas photos, a few Christmas cards, or mini ornaments. For this craft you will get hemp and 10 mini clothespins. It does require some hammering, so please bring a hammer.

If you'd rather have the frame without the clothesline, that is fine. Leave the tree cutout blank, or fill with wrapping paper, chalkboard, an enlarged photo, etc. Sorry, we aren't providing materials big enough to fill the hole, but you are welcome to bring stuff and glue/nail it on at the activity. The frame is 2 feet tall and 16 inches wide.
