March Craft Group
Iris Folding
March 3 | 6:30pm
Calling all crafters! Come learn the art of Iris folding, a beautiful paper-craft technique that originated in the Netherlands. This method uses folded paper strips layered in a spiral pattern over a cut-out shape, creating a design that resembles the iris of a camera lens. Iris folding is commonly used for greeting cards and decorative projects—and it’s easier than it looks!
Join us on March 3 at 6:30pm in Room 206 for a fun, hands-on evening of creativity.
Cost: $3
RSVP: Karen Vis at office@midwayumc.org
All skill levels welcome—bring a friend and come craft with us!
