Origami Swans Recap!
Hello faithful readers! On Saturday we all got together and learned how to make those beautiful origami swans. Our wonderful teacher, Irene, was very patient and easy to understand! We are very glad she agreed to teach us this wonderful craft.
Certainly the paper pieces were easy to fold, but completing the entire swan took a lot of hard work and concentration! Luckily our crafters are not lacking in either of these qualities.
Unfortunately time proved too short despite our best efforts and we didn't get to finish the craft. We'll be attempting this again in part two of the class. Please keep your eyes out for the date and time of the next class!
Meanwhile, keep crafting, crafters!

Altoid Tin Crafts
If you've been anywhere in the library recently, you might have seen the fliers for the Life Survival Kit craft program. Maybe you peered into the handy first-aid kit sitting by the reference desk. Or maybe you even joined in and made an Altoid survival kit of your own!
Whatever the case, you're now a fan of those "curiously strong mints" and want to know--what else can you do with those cute tins?? Luckily the internet is full of fantastic tutorials and examples of cool crafts that you can do yourself, whatever your skill level!
