Fall Pumpkin Craft
Get creative this fall with our Active Older Adult Craft Class! Participants will start with a 12-inch wooden pumpkin and learn how to apply beautiful fall-themed napkin transfers to create a unique seasonal decoration. After the transfer is complete, we’ll add charming embellishments to give your pumpkin that perfect finishing touch. No experience necessary—just bring your love of crafting and seasonal cheer! All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind fall decoration ready to display or gift.
