I have a group of 30 girls. I’d like to make something nice, a keepsake of some sort, not something that’s going to get thrown in the garbage the minute they get home. We don’t have a huge budget but can be a bit flexible with pricing. Thank you!
Get a few different green colors of polymer clay at the craft store and the pinbacks. You have to warm and work the clay in your hands to get it conditioned enough to roll it out thin, maybe 1/8 inch. Make three clovers, each in a different color, and then kind of overlap them in a pleasing way, then bake the clay according to package directions and glue them on the pinbacking using superglue gel. You could get several out of one package, and they only run about $2 a package. Now they have a keepsake pin. There are little cutters for the polymer clay that come in different shapes that could help you with the clovers, though I don’t think they would be hard. You could also use a barrette back and make a barrette with the clovers, but the pin could be worn past the barrette stage if desired.

tell them to bring photos, or photo copies
then take some of your own, if u have a digital camera of the girls, then print them out
scrapbook on bright green paper, and decorate with paint, markers, crayons, glitter, whatever!!!
