DVDs - Check out the J740s in the nonfiction DVD section, and you'll find some cool how-to videos for learning how to knit, paint, draw, and more.
Books! Looking for inspiration? Check out our National Craft Month display of books full of ideas and instructions for tons of crafts. We've got everything from Laura Ingalls Wilder crafts to crafts with old jeans, beads, and clay, and you can even travel to other countries with some of these craft ideas. You'll also find additional titles in the j740s in the nonfiction section.
Programs! Then, during the Zionsville spring break, we'll have a drop in craft available at various times during that last week of March. Exact times and dates can be found on our program calendar (click on "Month-at-a-Glance" at the top to see our events in calendar format). We'd love for you to stop by.
Website Links. Finally, don't forget the Internet! Throughout the month I'll be posting craft-related websites that might be of interest to you. For example:
- Interested in creating some cool pop-up cards? Robert Sabuda makes crazy-cool pop-up books and has posted
templates and instructions for how to create some neat cards at his website: http://robertsabuda.com/popmake/index.asp
- Looking for some paper craft ideas, maybe for with a theme? Have you heard of DLTK's website? It can be a busily formatted website, but there's some fun and simple ideas here! Take a look: http://www.dltk-kids.com/
- On the slightly tech-ier side of things, want some free clip art? I've used OpenClipArt a lot these days for free images.
- And the National Gallery of Art has >The Art Zone for kids wanting to make and learn about art. Don't miss this unique and interactive site!
Do you have any crafty videos, books, or sites you just love? It's all about sharing information here at the library, so comment on this post and share you're great ideas!
