Glass Trivets

The Thrills & Skills Elementary Group had a project meeting.  We made Glass Trivets out of Flattened Glass Beads and Black Felt Circles.

 First we laid out our designs.  So many beads from which to choose.  Each child went home with a completely different design even though we all used the same materials.  These would make wonderful holiday gifts for special friends who love to cook!

 We used small, flat Glass Beads to make Trivets on felt.  We used green beads since our 4H color is green!

 We had 4 stations set up with glue guns.  Each of the girls had a parent helper, but many of the girls handled those H-O-T glue guns with ease!  Not an easy task as some adults can attest!

 One of the awesome things about our group this year is that we are continually working on our Record Books.  No more waiting till the 11th hour to complete these HUGE tasks.... we are doing it bit by bit after each meeting.  How nice it will be to have our record books come August!  Here's one of our newest members diligently working on her description of what she did for her project today.  If anyone would like the files for our Service Project Form, Project Form, Demonstration Form, or Fashion Review Form, please contact Mrs. Corcoran.
