| Glitter glue bat |
I love hallowe’en so when Making Things Club announced that
the October meet would be hallowe’en-themed I got very excited! My best friend
Heather
planned her first visit to Bristol to tie in with it and we arrived promptly
(okay, early – twenty minutes early) to receive spooky goodie bags with those
plastic fangs I always insisted on wearing all day as a child, candy bracelets
and little plastic bats. Chris was back this month and Lori was sporting
skeleton tights.
Upon entry, we were directed towards paper templates and felt
and each sewed ourselves a bat bow tie. I added sequins and little eyes to mine
and Heather made hers yellow so that she could wear it with a black shirt and
channel Batman. I felt a little lost this time in terms of what I wanted to
make, once I was done with my bat. I played around a bit more with my felts,
did some drawing on a photo from an encyclopaedia, started making another bow
tie. Heather started making herself a little felt doll. I added some glitter
details to my plastic bat.

There was also face-painting and creepy-themed music this
month – and an announcement! Making Things Club will be opening a shop in Cabot
Circus. Read more about their plans over at their
blog. It’s all very exciting!

The next Making Things Club will be on 11th November at
Cafe Kino.
