Beat the Heat by Beading!

When it’s hot out, we often head inside for awhile to find something to keep ourselves busy. This month, for our Gifted Girls column, we are looking at jewelry. Making jewelry is a great way to stay busy and have fun in the summertime! Show younger girls in the congregation that they [...]

Tie Dye!

Decorate It!

This month we’re featuring household decorations, and we hope you’ll receive some inspiration for a summer face-lift on your bedroom, or for preparing things for a dorm room.

Today we’d like to share a few photos of things other [...]

This month we are going to learn how to sew several items that will bring comfort to people and demonstrate our love for them by using or discovering our own gifts (1 Peter 4:10). These service projects make both those receiving and those giving [...]
