Get Creative: Summer Projects

The theme around Turner this summer has been Get Creative @ Your Library! If you're stuck somewhere else, but still looking to get creative, consider the following:

1. Make a tote bag from an old/odd-sized/bizarre t-shirt! Holy recycling, Batman! We've all got those t-shirts...from biker rallies, speed boat races, mashed potato wrestling, world's strongest wo/man competitions, circus family reunions (alright, maybe that's just me talkin')...why not make some good out of the deal?



Instructions here courtesy of Instructables.

2. Origami water bombs! Look, it gets hot around here. And we have more space than we know what to do with. Sounds like it's time for WAAATER BOMMMB FIIIIIIEEEGHT! Bonus: If you choose not to use them as water bombs, you can stick each one onto the bulbs of holiday lights...little paper laterns!

3. Popsicles! It's strawberry season, and the MSAD #1 school farm is bustin' them out like it's nobody's business. Jam is fine and shortcake is great, but why not make some popsicles? Don't have any molds? Fret not: do it old school and use a paper cup as your mold...just add popsicle sticks!

4. Make a hammock! I'm honestly not trying to promote laziness or anything, but, look, summer naps are a precious commodity. If you're going to do it, do it right.

Instructions here courtesy of Instructables.

5. Barf bag puffer fish puppet! Some of you might be lucky enough to fly somewhere exotic this summer. Of course, exotic places take awhile to get to, so make the best of it. A travel-worthy craft that would make the TSA proud.

Have fun!
