Get Your Craft On at These 5 NoCo DIY Classes
Remember back in elementary school art class when you got to take home the projects you made? It was fun to create your own original pieces, and who wasn't excited to show them off at home afterwards.
We may have all graduated grade school at this point, but that doesn't mean the fun of art class has to end too. Lots of local Northern Colorado businesses actually offer DIY classes, ranging from all sorts of crafts and activities. Not only do you get to let out your inner-creativity, but you also get to walk away with something handmade which is pretty cool.
