Calling all sweet-toothed crafters! The 4th Annual Cupcake Craft Night is upon us. Join in the fun and satisfy not only that sugar craving, but also your creative streak. On Monday, July 19, we’ll be concocting cupcake-themed craft projects at the Etsy Labs with our pals from Cupcakes Take the Cake, KnitKnit, and daniellexo. Cupcakes Take the Cake will be providing cupcakes to eat as inspiration, as will Cake Lab. We encourage you to bring your own cupcakes to share as well!

 

 

Nguyen Le (a.k.a. KnitKnit) will be lending her fiber expertise to show us how to make super cute needle felted pinback buttons. If you have a bottle cap that you would like to recycle for this project, please bring it along. We’ll have everything else you need on hand.

Etsy Admin Danielle Maveal (a.k.a. daniellexo) will show us how to transform humble paper and thread into embroidered notecards, as pictured below.

Here is the scoop in a nutshell…

  • When:
    • In Brooklyn, NY: Monday, July 19, 2010 from 4-8 p.m. ET. Drop in anytime!
    • Live faraway? Join us online at 5 p.m. ET for a how-to demo in the Virtual Labs, our online multi-user chat room. (Click here to see what time 5 p.m. ET is in your hometown.)
  • Where: 55 Washington Street, Suite 512 in Brooklyn, New York
  • RSVP here.
