A Taylor Swift concert isn’t the only place you can find creative friendship bracelets. Participants in this class will show-off their design skills while making bracelets for their family and friends. Giving a bracelet to someone you don’t know is an excellent way to make a new friend. The class will also teach students the many different ways to make and keep friends.

Students express themselves by putting color, designs, and expressions onto the arms and faces of friends. Everyone loves to have their face painted at a carnival. Now students have a chance to learn how to create Beyond Exciting facial designs that will wow everyone. This class partners best with a School Carnival for students to show-off what they’ve learned with friends outside of this class.
