Yesterday's Workshop at Iguana Imports

Yesterday's class was a success! Check out what was made below...the student was a fast learner...she made a bottle and started a beanie, which she then later finished at home. I am so happy with how it all went!

Wine Bottle will later be used as a vase

then, turn it into this everlasting ......Plastic Pillow!!!!!!

Make a nice pillow cover for it and take a seat!
