Feeling Crafty? Join SAB for a Pinterest Party!

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 19, 2014) — Pinterest Parties are based on the popular social media site that houses many DIY projects and crafting ideas. The first Pinterest Party of the semester is Tuesday, Sept. 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Rasdall Gallery, located at the end of Great Hall in the Student Center on UK's campus. The event is sponsored by the Student Activities Board's Campus Life Committee and students can follow or browse SAB’s Pinterest board at www.pinterest.com/uksab.

 

The event series gives students a two-hour window to craft with friends and celebrate the theme of the party. Each Pinterest Party will have a different theme and the crafts will coordinate. The first theme is "Patriot Day and the University of Kentucky." Students will have the opportunity to make wreaths, key holders, mason jar soap dispensers and more.

 

“Now that school is in full swing it's time to create some apartment flare for your living space,” Abbey Tillman, director of campus life, said. “It is important to show your school pride and celebrate our awesome country, and you can do this at our first Pinterest Party using burlap, red, white and blue colors, UK stickers and Kentucky cut-outs to make your own crafts!”

 

SAB brings more than 100 entertaining, educational and enriching programs that are reflective of contemporary issues and trends to the University of Kentucky annually. These programs are designed to enhance the college experience for students, faculty, staff and the greater Lexington community.
