Teen Crafts
Paint by Number Gallery (September 2025)
Teens attempted some beginner-friendly paint by number kits at our Art After Dark event this September. (If this is beginner, I’d hate to see advanced!) Enjoy our works in progress below!
Color Shift Potions Gallery (January 2025)
Teens made the most amazing color-shifting potions using food coloring and mica powder in a water-rubbing alcohol solution, then decorated their bottles with various labels and sealing wax. These make great props for parties, or D&D, or cosplay! Lots of ideas and recipes and designs can be found here. Check out some of the potions we made!
Wreaths of Khan Gallery (December 2024)
A most excellent variety of wreaths were created by participants at the library’s Wreaths of Khan event this December. To Khan or not to Khan, that was the question. Check out our creations below!
Project Shrink Plastic Gallery (July 2024)
Teens played with shrink plastic at this fun event and we all ooh-ed and ahh-ed as we watched our creations brighten in color as they diminished in size. This is still so fun! See what everyone made below:
Build It: Recyclables Gallery (July 2024)
We hauled out some craft supplies and saved our recyclables this month so teens could repurpose them in new ways. Here are some of their creations:
Project Perler Gallery (May 2024)
Remember Perler beads? We got a little nostalgic for our childhood and brought out these fun, fusable, plastic beads. You can make pretty much anything with them! Teens tried out some of our example patterns and came up with their own designs. Check out what we made below:
Melt and Pour Soap Gallery (April 2024)
Teen participants learned how to make soap the easy way using the melt and pour method. Here are some of their beautiful (and fragrant) creations!
February Bookmarks
A group of Volunteens (teen volunteers) made these fantastic bookmarks today for our library visitors this month (February, 2024). Thanks for sharing your artistic talent! These are great!
Galaxy Journals Gallery (December 2023)
