Pinterest Knight

So Pinterest Knight was held on last Thursday and I didn't really know what to expect going into it. I am a huge Pinterest fanatic so I was excited when I saw that ETK was actually hosting one! I walked into the ballrooms by the Mensa with Jaclyn at 6 pm and the place was already booming! There were separate little stations for each project and in the opening of the doorway was a table full of "I <3 Pinterest" pins.
   The first table Jaclyn and I went to was the hot cocoa snowman making one. We filled out little jars with hot cocoa and marshmallows and mints and glued the jars together. We added little ribbons for scarves and little puffballs for the coat. They also had little googly eyes. Our second table was the picture holder thing. It's kind of hard to explain, but there were many different colors of clothes pins and you grabbed the colors that you wanted. Then you grabbed a piece of cardboard and cut a big circle. Then once you have done that, you cut a smaller circle inside the bigger circle. Once done with this, you hot glue the clothes pins all around the circle facing out so you can put pictures on them. It created a sun. Our last table was the coasters. This one was my favorite because it was fast yet really cool to do. You picked certain sheets of scrapbooking paper and then grabbed however many coasters you wanted to make. Then you would cut the sheet into the size of your coaster. Modge podge was provided at the tables so you would take a little of that and put it all over the front of your coaster. Then you laid the scrapbook paper over it and put modge podge over that as well! It looks white over your scrapbook paper, but it dried clear. You waited a good 5-10 minutes and you would have yourself a pretty coaster.  I thought this was an excellent way to meet new people and work together. It was very fun and I hope they host a night like this every  year!
