Etsy Craft Party - Creativity Abound!

The 3rd annual Etsy Craft party happened in Vancouver last Friday night, with everyone gathering at Blim, in the heart of Chinatown. The main craft activities included creating a vintage postcard decorating, glass jar decorating and travel journal decorating. The tables were packed when I arrived, so J and I started with the smaller activities such as using the print press, button making and canvas painting. I had quite a lot of fun - I didn't think I would take so long making my postcard but there were a lot of beautiful paper, stickers and other supplies to sort through! The only gripe that I and other people had was that there were not enough pairs of scissors. All the party goers also received a goodie bag that included a spool of ribbon, a bogo Blenz card, and some other samples.

Our favourite activity - button making!

Mine is the grey blobby one that I call interpretive art. I see mountains, J sees a rainy scene - what do you see?

At the end of the night, I went back to take a look at what other people painted! There were a lot of creative ones!

People were really getting into decorating their journals.

I chose to make a vintage postcard.

I must have spent over an hour doing this - time just flew by!

I made my postcard double sided.

The place was packed with craft-lovers!
