What is Super Saturday?
Super Saturday is a chance for women to get together to provide service and make crafts.  Come to socialize, craft, eat, and serve!  A delicious & light lunch of soup and rolls will be provided along with delightful company!  Please invite friends and neighbors to come and join in the fun!

*Please note that babysitting is not provided for this activity*



The Relief Society Committee has worked very hard to come up with some fantastic projects to make as gifts, to pretty-up your place, or help your family be a little more organized.  We hope you will enjoy them!





{Wooden Block Nativity}
Taught by: Allison Dietz
Cost: $5.50
Time Estimate: paint 30 min, dry 30 min, paint 30 min, dry 45 min, modge podge 30 min, dry 30 min

Make one of these adorable and child friendly nativities!  You have two paint color options: black or beige.  This project is easy, but does take some time with painting and drying.  With drying time in between, you have time to go and do other crafts or help with Humanitarian projects! 


Supplies that would be helpful to bring: scissors






{Every Month Pictures with Frame}
Taught by: Megan Holt
Cost: $4.25
Time Estimate: 1 minute :)

Want to decorate for every holiday, but hate to buy and store decorations?  Come and make this super easy craft with pictures that can be changed to reflect the month/season/or holiday all year long!  This frame comes with 12 printed pictures and a frame for decorating.  Simply keep the pictures in a stack inside the frame and switch the front picture to show a little holiday love without all the bulk and cost!  In addition, you will receive a handout with other ideas for simple holiday decorations to complement this decoration.  


Supplies that would be helpful to bring: All supplies provided!





{Fabric Covered Magnetic Board}
Taught by: Harmony Linehan
Cost: $8.75
Time Estimate: 30 minutes

Need a little more organization in your life? Whip up one of these beauties to help you keep things put in their place!  There are two fabric and ribbon choices to choose from: red chevron and a blue and orange floral. 



Supplies that would be helpful to bring: scissors, thick work gloves (the metal is a bit sharp)



{Glass Etching Personalized Dishes}
Taught by: Shelly Crespo
Cost: $3.00 for 9x13, $2.00 for 8x8
Time Estimate: 20 minutes

Never lose your potluck dish again!  Put your name on a 9x13 or 8x8 glass dish using glass etching cream.  This would be a great idea for gifts!  Please note that you must provide your own glass dish.  We did this in an effort to keep costs low and to give everyone a little more flexibility.  There are several deals out there on glass dishes, and the sample dishes actually came in a set from Target for around $14 (if you are interested in those).   

Anchor-Hocking dishes are guaranteed to work with the cream, but Pyrex dishes are not guaranteed to work, so bring a Pyrex at your own risk.  It won't hurt the dish, it just may not etch correctly!  When signing up, go to the second tab labeled "Glass Etching" to list the names and dish sizes that you would like to etch on each kit purchased so that Shelly can have it ready for you that day.   

Supplies to bring: 9x13 or 8x8 Glass dish (Anchor-Hocking or Pyrex only)







{Paper Bag Scrapbooks}
Taught by: Stephanie Parks
Cost: FREE! (limit 1 per person)
Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes (depends on how elaborate you want to get)

This is a fun little keepsake that lends itself well to every ability!  These would be great to make with kids as presents to grandparents or after a vacation.  You are welcome to bring photos to put in that day or wait until you get home.  Please note that the paper bags are not acid free so all photos should be copies rather than originals.  We will provide bags, ribbons, and some papers, but feel free to bring any other embellishments to fancy up your book and make it your style!

Supplies that would be helpful to bring: scissors (or paper trimmers), single hole or 3-hole punches



{Red cover with Black Felt}
{Black cover with Antique Cream Felt}
{Felt Flower Pillows}
Taught by: Avalon Marsh
Cost: $9.75
Time Estimate: 30 minutes cutting, 60-90 minutes gluing

Create a designer looking pillow without the designer price!  Choose your petal design, pillow color, and felt color. You can choose from 3 different pillow cover colors (red, black, or beige) and 3 different felt color options (black, white, or antique cream).  Due to supply, there is a 2 pillow limit (I am getting the pillows from Ikea and they don't ship them!).  Just for your information, the pillow is 20x20.  I will have felt and templates ready for pick up a few days prior to Super Saturday for those that would like to have a head start on the project and free up some more time for other projects that day.

If you are not a fan of the color options provided, feel free to bring your own pillow, cover, felt, and hot glue and learn how to make one.  I will provide the petal templates. 

Supplies that would be helpful to bring:fabric scissors (or very sharp scissors), a mini hot glue gun

Supplies to bring (if doing own color options): 1/3 yrd felt, a pillow cover and/or form (at least 16x16 or up to 20x20), 5 mini glue sticks, fabric scissors, a mini hot glue gun

Humanitarian Projects

There is also the opportunity to work on a few humanitarian projects.  Please donate some of your time during Super Saturday to help us complete these crafts! Please indicate on the sign up sheet if you will be spending some time to help.  



We will be painting some adorable animals that will be donated to organizations that help young children.  We need help painting wheels, axles  and adding  details to each animal.  

We will also be making cards for soldiers.  


We are excited for the day and hope to see you there!
