I don't think you fire the Walmart type stuff. I think you can just use those new paints and bake in the oven. I just pulled out some things we poured and fired at a ceramicclass back in the 70's. I still have to finish my sister's bisque snowman punch bowl and her Christmas village. I wonder if I'll ever get around to it. 3 years ago I had the inside of the punchbowl and inside of the cups glazed and fired at the senior center. Artsy, you might check in your town to see if they have a kiln at a Senior Center. They might do it for you.

Wow! It's amazing! I'll give the link to my sister, she will make a good use of it, for sure! (Hope she will make some items for me, lol).

Thanks Donna! We try to come up with "quality" crafts, so the adults aren't bored to tears for 3 hours. We got a little tired of the pre-packaged "foam" crafts, if you know what I mean. We have quite a number of ladies that come without kids because they like them too. We also try to focus a lot on recycling, or "out of the box" ideas for things, like the lightbulbs and chip-clips. Feel free to share the ideas and the website. I'm soon to be unemployed, so I should have more time on my hands to update the page. Eventually I hope to be selling things from it. It's so much more my passion than computer programming. BTW, the little pails can be gotten at any wedding favor supply store. We happened across them at the Dollar Tree for 3/$1! It was a steal! We bought all we could find before I even knew what we were going to do with them. Of course, we do that a lot. Since we're so conscious of pricing, we buy things on clearance or after Christmas and then figure out later what we'll do with it. For example, my partner in this event salvaged her neighbor's cedar fence this summer and then asked "What can we do with this?" We decided it's going to be a decorated birdhouse this year. I'll be putting that on the website shortly, I hope. Thanks for your compliments and enjoy! And keep checking back!

What about some barrettes for girls. Look up ribbon flowers and lollipop flowers for a couple of basic flower designs. Your ribbon is a bit wide for most uses. I think if you experiment a bit you could come up with something. Really big, overstated barrettes seem to be popular for special occasions.
