With the holidays approaching, how about challenging yourself to get crafty.  As you know in the library, craft and homemade are our middle names, so we are hoping it may rub off…..

How about jazzing up old t-shirts with the kids (no sewing machine needed) , homemade felt cupcakes, dolls, bags and can you remember making rats tails with leftover balls of wool from mums cupboard, 4 nails and a wooden cotton reel?

Your kids will love you for it.  Give it a go!

 

Check out how to knit on this you tube tutorial
