More December Classes!

Just when you thought it was over for holiday classes we have come up with some fabulous classes in December. These would be the perfect get away for all that Christmas frenzy or the perfect gift for that special someone. All these classes are taught by our crafty friends across the Red River.

The newest teacher to Paper Crown is Heather Ales. Heather is an accomplished artist and is coming to OKC after helping with Creative Connection and Silver Bella. You can view her creative talents at www.heatherales.com or www.heatheralesdesigns.com

Paper Crown Gurlie

Ann-Denise Anderson

Dec. 11, 11-4:30 (Lunch will be provided)

Class Fee: $85


In this workshop you will be learning the art of paper clay, sculpting and molding techniques. The Paper Crown Gurlie is inspired by the Paper Crown store and her owner, Cindy Winter- if only I was so cute! I felt inspired to create a little gurlie, all made up of paper and vintage embellishments! She measures 10” tall, fully jointed and is all hand sculpted, painted, antiqued, clothed from her crush glass paper crown to the tips of her ruffled socks and bow tied Mary Janes. You definitely won’t want to miss this class! Kit supplies include: paper clay, forms, textiles, embellishments, paints sculpting tools and hardware. Students are responsible for: glue gun, any adhesives, scissors, bling that you might want to use on your gurlie and apron to protect your clothing. Remember due to the class length you will want to wear comfortable clothing.

Paper Crown Glitter Market Classes

November 18th, 19th & 20th


We all love the holiday season and what better way to get in the spirit of Christmas “ Paper Crown style.” This special holiday event will consist of three sparkling days of classes that decorate your home for the holidays and create a keepsake present for someone special. The three days of classes and holiday glitz will culminate with a vendor market on Saturday, November 20th.


Holiday Spool Class
Thurs., Nov. 18th
5:30-9:00, $45.00

We could not think of a better way to kick off the Glitter Market than a class by our very own Jackie Peters. We really are so very blessed to have such a talented artist in our store! Jackie will take her popular spools and add her special touch to create a vintage Santa and snow maiden . If you have done Jackie’s earlier spools you will want to add these holiday decorations to your collection. We have added a few extra class seats to accommodate the demand but call soon.


Dozen Roses
Fri., Nov. 19th
6:00-9:00, $65.00



As many of you know, once a month Hilari and I fling the paint and glitter with the kiddos in Kid’s Camp. Often we have had requests to duplicate it for adults so here is your chance. In this class ( and remember it is a kid’s class so don’t tell us you can’t paint!) we will paint a 16 x 20 still life of a dozen roses. A pre-sketched vase will ease the anxiety of those who claim you can’t draw. In class we will paint the background and vase, with instruction on basic shading, and then have a blast painting the dozen free form textured roses. If 10 year olds can do it so can you- I promise! At the end of the evening you will have a beautiful painting for your home or a special gift for someone special.
