DIY at Diamond - Paper crafts and wood burning

Embrace winter with cozy crafts at Diamond Lake. We’ll have the park office at the Foster Center set up for a few options to try out. 

• Woodburning: try using an electric woodburning tool to create a pattern on a small wood “cookie” to use as a coaster or ornament   . We will have a variety of patterns available for you to trace or you can create your own.
  • Please note: Woodburning equipment will be limited adults and kids in 5th grade and up. Younger kids are welcome to come along and make a coaster using markers or paint.  
• Unplug and embrace snail mail. Try your hand at paper making, make cards from scrap paper, and use old calendar or magazine pages to create beautiful envelopes. 

Materials for all activities will be provided. You can come and go as you please, but plan to allow about an hour if you’d like to make a coaster. 

We have limited woodburning tools so please RSVP for a time so that Amy can plan accordingly.

RSVP required! Email Amy at adurbin@poweshiekcountyiowa.gov or call 319-213-5607 during business hours. 

When you RSVP please let Amy know how many in your group want to make a coaster so we can be sure to have plenty of supplies.
