Special Guest: Paper Pulp Designs with “Creative Bliss”

Hours: 10:30 am – 1:00 pm
Montgomery Preservation and the Silver Spring Historical Society present a free family holiday craft day. Upcycle paper and then recycle its pulp into a beautiful piece of artwork created by you…. resulting in hangable work of arts for your holiday packaging or an ornament to hang around your home. We will provide the supplies; you supply the creativity.
