White Plains Library Releases Information On Grab&Go Grades 7-12: Yarn Pumpkins

Press release from the White Plains Public Library:

November 16 2020

By Kathlyn, Teen Librarian

Which Craft? Wednesday has been phased into Grab ‘n 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 making another gourd-themed fall decor item: yarn pumpkins. The kit includes orange yarn, two pipe cleaners (yellow and green), a balloon, Elmer's glue, and a plastic fork. We'll be following the instructions from this post from the blog One Little Project. Fair warning, this project was messy and a bit trickier than the last one. But once I embraced the intrinsic stickiness of wrapping a balloon in gluey yarn, I had fun making this craft.

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!
