April's new releases are all about adding life to your environment as the greens and yellows and other colors come back to the surface all around us.
Available now: Gather & Make: Four Garden Projects
Gather herbs, leaves, even weeds with Lorene Edwards Forkner, and she will guide you through four craft projects that reflect seasonal changes. You can learn to make kokedama, a Japanese style of potted plant encased in mud that is covered in moss. She'll show you how to create a delicious salt mix with citrus, how to print with herbs and leaves, and making beautiful, delicate flower arrangements threaded on string and wire.
Premiering April 8: Sew a Ruffled Pillow Cover
Textile artist Faith Hale makes it easy to create your own custom envelope-style pillow cover with a romantic ruffle decoration. Designed for all skill levels including beginners, you'll be on your way to a beautiful handmade decoration that will make any room even more like home.
Premiering April 10: Add a Display Sleeve to a Quilt
Turn your cherished quilt into a beautiful wall hanging with Heidi Parkes. Known for a whimsical, improvisational quilting style, Parkes will show you any quilt can be worthy of display. She will show you how to make a long-lasting and elegant display from your heirloom including measuring techniques, ironing methods, and a discreet ladder stitch to attach the sleeve.
Premiering April 15: Mixtape: Trees
Another Creativebug Mixtape! Each month, Creativebug releases "mixtapes" of classes using different techniques and media, curated around a common theme. In April, it's trees! Find drawing, painting, and other making tutorials inspired by the living limbed landmarks we can't live without.
Premiering April 22: Gee's Bend Inspired Collage
Celebrate Earth Day reusing scrap materials in this special presentation with Sarah Matthews. Recovering castoffs from her own printmaking and book art, Sarah will show you paper quilting techniques inspired by the quilters of Gee's Bend, Alabama, a renowned quilting tradition sparked by a group of Black artists.
