So maybe you're no Martha Stewart—but that doesn't mean you don't have the soul of a crafter hiding somewhere inside. Let Crafternoon founder Maura Madden help you find it with this month's DIY events; at these friendly get-togethers, artists of all levels get together for drinks, snacks, and a little handmade creativity.
Coming up this week:
Providence-based greenies meet at Kreatelier for an afternoon of turning trash into treasure, where Madden supplies recyclables—and instructions for turning them from throw-aways to Recyclobots and Green Doll Houses. (4/26, 12-3 p.m., 804 Hope St., Providence, RI)
Get a jump-start on Mother's Day with projects designed for the ladies in your life: bring plain t-shirts or tote bags to dress up with paint, sequins, and other decorations; or devote your attention to handcrafted bookmarks and cards. (4/30, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Spacecraft, 355 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, NY)
