SO EXCITING.
SO EXCITING. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE
IDEA?
IDEA?
IDEA? >>
IDEA? >> IT WAS MY HUSBAND'S IDEA,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
HE PINNED A BUNCH OF FUNNY
THINGS ON HIS BOARD AND WE JUST
WANTED TO FIGURE OUT A PLACE TO
HOUSE ALL THAT STUFF AND THEN
WE REALIZED WE ALL PIN THESE
COOL THINGS BUT WE NEVER DO
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. LIKE, THE RECIPES AND PROJECTS
AND HOME IMPROVEMENT -- WHAT IF
WE HAVE EXPERTS CREATING THOSE
PINS COME TO TEACH US, THE
NORMAL PERSON, HOW TO DO IT.
>> I LOVE THAT IDEA.
KELLY, HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED
IN WHAT YOU DO?
>> MY CO-OWNER AND I, ANDREA,
WERE STAY-AT-HOME MOMS AND
WANTED TO GET BACK IN THE
WORKING WORLD AND WE PINNED
EVERYTHING AND NEVER FOUND TIME
TO DO IT.
TO DO IT.
TO DO IT. HER GIRLFRIENDS WERE, AS WELL
AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD OPEN A
SHOP AND MAKE THIS A BUSINESS
TO PAVE THE WAY FOR PEOPLE TO
COME IN AND LEARN HOW TO DO
THESE THINGS.
THESE THINGS. WE OPEN TO 18 MONTHS AGO.
IT HAS TAKEN OUT.
>> SHOW US WHAT YOU WILL DO

CLASSES WE WILL BE TEACHING AND
WE DO THIS WITH PAINT.
IT'S THE STATE OF MINNESOTA,
EXTREMELY POPULAR AT OUR
BURNSVILLE SHOP.
BURNSVILLE SHOP. WE DO SOME FOR WISCONSIN.
>> JUST A FEW.
>> THIS IS VERY EASY AND ONE OF
THOSE PROJECTS THAT LOOKS
AMAZING WHEN FINISHED AND
LITERALLY ANYONE CAN DO IT.
>> THAT IS A BIG CLAIM.
>> I TRIED TO TALK YOU INTO IT.
ALL IT IS, IS WE HAVE ABOUT
EIGHT DIFFERENT COLORS AND YOU
MIX THE COLORS THAT YOU WANT IN
A CUP AND LAYER THEM IN.
THIS IS ACRYLIC PAINT FROM
PLATT, ONE OF THE SPONSORS AND
IT'S MIXED WITH A FLOW MEDIUM
THAT MAKES IT RUNNY.
YOU PUT THE COLORS THAT YOU
WANT IN YOUR CUP.
I DID THIS A LITTLE BIT EARLIER
AND THEN IN THE CLASS, WE GIVE
YOUR PRACTICE PIECES SO YOU CAN
CHECK IT OUT BEFORE YOU COMMIT.
THERE IS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT
TECHNIQUES ON HOW TO POUR IT.
ALL YOU DO IS POUR OVER AND
THEN THE SLIGHTLY MESSY PART
AND THE FUN PART -- IS YOU PICK
IT UP.
IT UP.
IT UP. THIS IS HOW YOU GET THAT.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. >> THIS IS WHERE YOU GET THE
CHANCE TO --
>> LOOK AT THAT.
>> ANYONE CAN DO IT.
WE'VE HAD FIVE-YEAR-OLDS COME
TO MAKE AWESOME THINGS AND
SOMETIMES KIDS ARE BETTER THAN
THE ADULTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T
GET SO HUNG UP.
>> THE TYPE A PERSONALITIES AND
WHAT THEY WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN.
>> HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO
DRIVE?
DRIVE?
DRIVE? >>
DRIVE? >> ABOUT 24 HOURS.
WITH BRINGING THIS IN THE
WORKSHOP AND BRINGING IT TO
PINNERS, WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO TAKE IT HOME.
ENTER THE PIZZA BOX.
>> A VERY SMART IDEA.
>> WE WILL CRAFT OVER HERE,
THROW THIS ALL AWAY AND SEND
YOU OUT WITH A PIZZA BOX.
>> THE FINISHED PRODUCT LOOKS
LIKE PORCELAIN.
LIKE PORCELAIN. >> THIS WILL BE THE FINISHED
PRODUCT PEOPLE TAKE HOME FROM
PINNERS, AND THEN THEY HAVE THE
OPTION TO ADD THE EPOXY FINISH,
WHICH IS GLOSSY.
>> THAT IS BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS.
IT'S ONE OF HOW MANY?
>> ONE OF 108 WORKSHOPS OVER
THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS.
108 OPTIONS FROM COOKING TO DIY
TO HOME-IMPROVEMENT, HAIR AND
MAKEUP -- TRULY, SO MUCH FUN

SHOP FOR SUPPLIES.
