Welcome to the "Upcycled Snow Flower Pop-up Card" workshop!

You will need:

• Grocery store paper bags (or kraft paper) cut into seven 3.5 inch square pieces* (please prepare before the workshop)
• Blank folded note card, approximately 4 inch x 5.5 inch
• Gel pen* (I use uni-ball Signo white for demo, but you can use any color.)
• Fine line pen or pencil for marking (You will not see these marks once you are done)
• Paper glue (I use a stick glue for demo)
• Scissors

• Optional: Pastel or charcoal pencil (I use General’s charcoal white for demo, but you can use any color.)
• Optional: Ruler

*When you cut square pieces out from a paper bag, it’s always good idea to make a few extra just in case.

*Please test your pens and pencils on your grocery paper bag to ensure they work on this unique drawing surface. Gel pens and pastel / charcoal pencils generally work well on grocery paper bags, but not all pens, pencils and paper are created equal. 

*Upcycling, repurposing, and recycling to save our precious recourses is something I try to incorporate in every aspect of my life, and I enjoy teaching the “Upcycled” workshop series using the grocery store bags. However, please feel free to use what you feel appropriate for this project.
