Make and Take Craft: Emoji Earbud/Charger Cord Case – Starting Monday, January 11 while supplies last.
Pick up complete kits to make an emoji themed earbud case from the Teen Department starting Monday, January 11. These circular cases are a great way to keep your earbuds from getting tangled, but they also work great for charging cords, too! Each kit will have instructions and all supplies needed (except scissors). You can work on the kits in your own time, or you can wait and work on them together with us during our Make and Take Monday Meetup!
Zoom Make and Take Meetup – Monday, January 25 at 4:00 pm on Zoom
Join us for our Make and Take Monday Meetup! Join us to work on your emoji earbud case together, or to chat about how it went (note: if you are planning on working on it together, having your felt cut out before the program will help). Grades 6-12. Registration required.
