_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Memorize "The Living Christ" Cards
*You will receive one ring and 11 pages of cards, printed in color with the words of "The Living Christ" and pictures to go with each phrase. You will laminate the pages, cut out the cards, punch a hole in each card and then thread them onto a ring. This will take about 30 minutes and can be done at any time throughout the day. These cards are wonderful for children, can be used as "quiet books" in sacrament meeting, and provide adults an easy way to memorize the words of "The Living Christ."
*Please bring a hole punch if possible and scissors or a paper cutter.
*Cost: $6.50
Birthday Binder
*You will receive a 1 inch binder and 12 page protectors, along with 13 color pages, one for each month and one for the cover. You will just need to assemble the pages. It will take less than 15 minutes and can be done at any time. The binder will help you keep track of the birthdays of your family members and friends, and the page protectors are a handy place to store the cards you make or buy.
*Cost: $5.00
Washer Necklace
*You will receive a cord necklace in black or brown (you choose) and a washer. Lots of scrapbook paper scraps will be provided, and you are welcome to bring your own as well. Glue, glaze, and files will be provided. You can make just one pendant or, for an additional quarter each, you can make a whole bunch. The paper needs to be cut to fit the washer, is glued on, filed at the edges, and then coated with glaze. These are beautiful for yourself or make lovely, personalized gifts. They are very easy!
*Please bring an exacto knife and scissors, if possible, along with any extra scrapbook paper pieces.
*Cost: $1.00 for the necklace, plus .25 for each additional pendant
Mason Jar Soap Dispenser
*You will receive a mason jar, lid, soap, and soap pump. Newspapers, sandpaper, and paint will be provided. You will paint the lid and then glue the lid and dispenser together. When the paint dries you will have a charming, old-fashioned looking soap dispenser. We will have some liquid soap available, or you can make or buy your own (in the colors/scents you like).
*Please bring a glue gun, if you have one.
*Cost: $2.50
Felt Rose Topiary
*You will receive a 4-inch styrofoam ball, ribbon, felt, pins, and beads. Spray adhesive will be provided. You cut out the felt pieces according to the pattern and then roll them into the rose shapes. They are so much easier than they look! They are then glued onto the styrofoam ball and create a beautiful Christmas topiary. This project may take more time than you have at the activity, but can easily be finished at home. Once you realize how easy the roses are to make you will want to make many more in lots of different colors to decorate all kinds of things.
*Please bring a glue gun and good scissors.
*Cost: $6.00
Paint Can Heater
*You will receive 1 gallon size paint can with lid, 1 quart size paint can with lid, a roll of toilet paper, a box of matches, a paint can opener, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a 4x4 tile, and an instruction label. These unlikely items will be assembled into a heater/cookstove perfect for your emergency supply. You will punch holes in the large paint can, stuff the toilet paper roll into the small can and pour rubbing alcohol over it, and glue on the label.
*Please bring a can opener (punch type)
*Cost: $11.00
Pumpkin Decoration
*You will receive 16 canning jar rings (gold-tone), some curly twine, a piece of burlap, and a small stick. These will be put together to make a cute fall decoration. They are fun and very easy to make.
*Please bring scissors and a hot glue gun
*Cost: $4.00

Every effort has been made to keep the costs for these projects as low as possible. If any money is left over it will be refunded to you. These "crafts" are very easy, fun, useful or decorative, and all can be given as gifts. But if you aren't interested in any crafts we would still love to have you at the activity! We want all of the Relief Society sisters to come and be uplifted by each other's company. Please feel free to bring your friends!

There will be service opportunities throughout the day:
*Fleece blankets can be tied for Project Linus. Anyone can do this while they sit and chat. These blankets are given to babies, children, and teens in need and in hospitals. They provide comfort to individuals who sorely need it. We have some darling fleece ready to be tied!
*Indexing: Jack Wilson will be teaching how to do geneological indexing in the Family History Center until 11:00. Not only can you learn how to index from a real pro, you can then get going on it and perform a very real and needed service.
*Friend-shipping: While our activity is going on, a group of children with Down syndrome and their parents from the community will also be doing a recycling craft project. Feel free to stop by and say hello and get to know them!
