DIY Stitch Marker Event
Stitch markers are fun to collect and fun to make. Over the next 12 weekdays Katelyn will show you a different way to make stitch markers. From simple to more complicated you will find beautiful ways to make stitch markers and new techniques of crafts along the way.
Each day Katelyn and I will be going live on the Marly Bird Facebook page for a live demo and chat. The lives will take place at noon eastern (unless stated below) on each of the event days. We will show you samples of the technique along with a short tutorial of how to make them for yourself.
