Have plans on Monday night? Well, you do now! Dust off your crafty pants and come join us for our weekly Craft Night at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn. Each craft night is also broadcast live in the Treehouse room of the Virtual Labs. All demos will be shown both in the Labs in Brooklyn and in the Treehouse online.

Craft Night occurs every Monday from 4-8pm at 325 Gold Street, 3rd floor in Brooklyn, New York. Each week the Etsy Labs organize a skill-sharing project. We provide supplies, tools, snacks, and know-how. Participants are also welcome to bring their own project to work on independently. Craft night is a time to make things, learn new skills, and hang out.

 
For our Monday, July 21 craft night, the lovely Christina, aka, missbatch will be teaching us how to make iron-on stencils from freezer paper. She'll be making a baby onesie, but this technique will work on any fabric surface that can be ironed with dry heat. You may wish to bring your own t-shirt or other item to stencil. Fabric scraps will be available for you to practice your new stenciling skills. All other supplies will be provided.

If you are joining us virtually for Craft Night this week and would like to craft along with us, you'll need a few supplies: freezer paper (from the grocery store), something to stencil (such as a t-shirt, totebag, onesie, bib, or piece of fabric), a design you wish to work with (simple silhouettes work best), fabric paint, stencil brush or paint sponge, iron, pencil or marker, exacto knife and tape. It's also good to have a surface to cut on, some scrap cardboard and rags or paper towels on hand. Or, you may just wish to bring a pencil to take notes.

Would you like to lead craft night or do you have an idea for a craft night project? Send your ideas to labs@etsy.com with "Craft Night idea" as the subject line.
