Learn to crochet a cute goldfish and make it "float" in a glass jar decorated like a mini aquarium with this kit. This kit uses a crochet tutorial from Creativebug, our crafting resource. Gr. 7-12.
Take a break from screens, relax at home, and create something with our Teen Take & Makes.
Register beginning February 21, and starting Friday, March 14, pick up your free Teen Take & Make kit at the Adult Services Desk. If you would like to pick up your kit at our 24/7 outdoor lockers, please call the library. This kit will include a recorded video along with written instructions.
The tutorial is available on Creativebug, free for Wilmette Public Library card holders. You'll need your library card number to access the site.
