Make an Origami Bouquet For Mother's Day or Wedding Day at HammerSpace, This Saturday at Noon

Recent photo of flowers made in 1998 for Dalton wedding

Mother's Day is THIS Sunday, May 12th!

 Let HammerSpace help you and your family create something unique for the mom(s) in your life.
HammerSpace is holding an Origami Flowers class this Saturday, May 11th at NOON. 
All ages welcome, and everyone leaves with a bouquet of paper blooms.

For those planning a wedding, these origami flower bouquets are also a beautiful, inexpensive, and longer-lasting alternative to live flowers. We made the flowers in the photo above (and many more) for our wedding back in 1998. Besides the fading of the paper, they have help up very well over the past decade+.

There will be a wide variety of origami paper to choose from, as well as stems, and clips. You are also welcome to bring your own origami paper if you have something you really want to use for this class.

Cost: $15/person -or- per family making one bouquet
Open to all ages
All materials included
Sign up for this class by calling 913-686-6562 or email 'hammerspacehobby' at gmail.
