Grab & Go Grades 7-12: String Art Snowflakes

Which Craft? Wednesday has been phased into Grab & Go Craft Kits! Instead of finding materials around the house, teens in grades 7-12 can pick supplies up from the Library lobby, then follow along with the instructional video below to make the project. Or, you can find the materials around your home and follow the video to make the project.

This month we're using string art to make a snowflake. The kit includes a cork square, white embroidery thread, pins, and a paper template. You’ll need to provide clear glue or clear nail polish, and you may also want to make a more decorative paper background for your snowflake. We'll be following the instructions from this post from the blog Chaotically Yours, where you can find a more detailed instructional video for stringing the thread from pin to pin. This is the template included in the kit, in case you want to print more.

Follow along with the video below, and please post pictures of your creations on Instagram or Facebook and tag us so we can see what you make!
