    Scissors (optional)

    Afternoon Session: TWISTING TYVEK LANTERNS

    September 30, 1:30 pm – 4 pm

    In this session, we’ll stain Tyvek, a strong, water-resistant paper-like material, and then delve into an extension of accordion folding to create a series of cylindrical structures. Illuminate these mini paper structures with battery operated tea lights. Materials are included in the fee. Registration is open to all.

    Small cutting mat (9” x 12”)
    Pencil
