Window Pane Class
Owatonna Make-n-Take

 

Window Pane Class

Cost:  $45.  Transform an ordinary, four pane window (supplied with class fee)  into a work of art!   During this class you will take an unpainted, four pane window and paint or stain it a color of your choice (please let me know if you want an unusual color).  You will work with the four pane window, decorating each pane (behind the glass) with pictures, embellishments, paper and more.   Each pane can be thought of as a separate scrapbook page -- so you will be scrapping four pages.  Some of the popular themes that have been done are:  heritage, family, vacation, cabin, baby, wedding, graduation ... the possibilities are endless.

Stop into the store to view an example.

WINDOW PANE CLASS

Thank you for signing up to take the Window Pane Class.

 

  • You are scheduled for class on: _______. 
  • Class is scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Class fee includes an unpainted wood, four pane window, the paint / stain to finish it (please let me know if you want an unusual color), the chipboard for creating the individual pages, and the backing for your frame.
  • Lunch is not included in the class fees; however, many will get together and order from Mansetti’s.

 

Plan, Plan, Plan – this is the key to having a beautiful frame!

 

  • When thinking about your window pane, first consider your theme.  Some of the popular themes that have been done are:  heritage, family, vacation, cabin, baby, wedding, graduation ... the possibilities are endless.  Once you have decided on your theme, the fun begins.
  • You will be creating 4 separate scrapbook pages.  Each page is created on a 9x11” piece of chipboard, with approximately an 8x10” viewable area.
  • You will need
    • 8-12 pictures – you are going to want a variety of sizes, from wallet to 5x7”.  We have the capabilities to copy, reduce, enlarge or change your pictures to black & white in the store.
    • Four pieces of background paper (they do not need to be the same, but they do look nice if three of them are the same), matting paper, vellum, etc.
    • Adhesive (strong adhesive is needed; your pages will be vertical, not flat like normally in your book).  We recommend Scrapbook Tape by 3L Adhesives, 3M Quick Dry Tacky Adhesive (for embellishments) or the Trio (all available in the store). 
    • Scissors, personal cutter.
    • Embellishments -- lace, ribbon, buttons, eyelets, snaps, brads, etc.

 

Stop by the store before your class to look at the wide assortment of paper and embellishments we have -- this will help you greatly.

 

  • When looking for embellishments, consider your theme:
    •  Heritage, do you have any old lace from Grandma’s wedding dress, an old doily, buttons from Grandpa’s suit, antique keys. 
    • Vacation –souvenirs from your trip – foreign currency, postcards.
    • Cabin – old fishing lures, drift wood (for the outside), small lake rocks. 
    • Family – a lock of your child’s hair, a swatch of material from their favorite outfit or stuffed animal. 
    • The original handwriting from someone who is in the photos.
    • Look around -- see what you have that will make your frame unique to you!
  • You may purchase the chipboard letters for the outside of your frame from the store – we will laser cut the word(s) you want out of chipboard and your paper to match.

 

We will help you; you will leave with a beautifully completed frame.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 651-464-3424 or julie@memoriesandmoremn.com  Thank you for choosing to preserve your memories at Memories & More … “The Scrapbook Store.”
