Blue skies, sunny days, open windows and flowers blooming everywhere: all of the bright and shiny celebrations of spring. This month’s Crafternoon-To-Go: Hanging Paper Stars project is a perfect way to increase spring’s glow. They’re super easy to make, and then you can hang it in a window — or anyplace you want. These are also great decorations for a summer gathering, a birthday party or another special occasion.
There are instructions and supplies in your kit to make a 12″ paper star with fishing line to make a loop for hanging. The kits will be available while supplies last at all of our locations beginning on May 17. You may pick them up at the second-floor reference desk at the Columbia library and by the service desks at our other libraries.
If you are interested in making more stars, try checking out patterned paper at one of our local crafts stores. You don’t have to use 12″ paper; any size that is square will work. I do recommend a heavier paper as it holds the shape better and doesn’t tear as easily. Our printed library collection has more resources here.
