Button-Tufted Family Tree

Friday class registration closed. Saturday open. Memory crafting is something Big Picture teachers Stacy and Wendy are experts at conceptualizing, with their combined experience of 20+ years in the scrapbooking industry. Spend time in this workshop creating a memory display piece that represents your personal heritage. You will make a button-tufted family tree that will be housed in a hollow frame, made from up-cycled wood. Learn the basics of upholstery tufting, wood staining, and paper crafting. You'll also make the foundation of a mini-album that will be displayed with your piece to tell your favorite family stories. We can’t wait for you to join us in creating an heirloom piece that you will proudly display in your home for years to come!
