Optional materials to bring if you want something different from what is provided:


  • Decorative napkins (many available at Party City in Eureka)
  • Plain background cardstock to make cards or postcards (lighter colors are best)
  • Decorative background paper, such as sheet music or with Chinese writing (the writing will show through napkins which can be good)
  • Blank notecards
  • Dry empty teabags
