Are you going through some major life changes? Does it feel like the world is getting bigger? Make a DIY Time Capsule Decoration with us so that you can look back on your past eras.

Using a few simple ingredients, we'll create a time capsule decoration that you can add to as you go through major life shifts! Unlike time capsules you bury underground, you'll always be able to look at this one to reflect on memories or remind yourself to look forward!

We'll be creating different layers of colorful "sediment" to mark the phases of your life. Bring along small items and we'll bury them until you're ready to discover them again!

Dress for mess!

Registration Required.
