NORTH COUNTY 4-H INVITES YOU TO COME OUT AND LEARN HOW TO DO A ROOM DESIGN CHALLENGE PROJECT! SATURDAY APRIL 26th 10am-12PM 1515 N Forest St Bellingham, WA 98225

To complete the project, the students fill out a "client interview". Their client can be a friend, neighbor, relative or a book character. They will use the answers to the questions to decorate the inside of a cardboard box to represent a "room" for their client. Their room design must include (at a minimum) 4 sewn items, 4 repurposed items, 4 painted items and 4 photos of themselves working on the project.

We will be handing out the information packets on the room design challenge and making clay fruit bowls for the rooms as well as handing out starter furniture and the boxes.
Please RSVP as there is only room for 18 students.
