Passive Programming: Upcycled Kindle Case

So this project was definitely not brainstormed out of self-interest. Nope, not even a little... okay, so there was a little bit of self-interest involved. But it is a fun project! It's a just a hardcover book (that you don't mind cutting up), a recycled cereal box, cloth scraps, and elastic. You can find my instructions here.

Passive Programming: Plastic Yarn

This week's project is a way to recycle shopping bags and makes it into two-ply yarn. The only problem with this project is having to re-wind this little ball of yarn (I did not foresee that adults would be the patrons to unravel the yarn). Find the trifold with instructions here.
I also created a better display for previous week's projects!

Passive Programming: Egg Carton Roses

Last week's activity was recycling egg cartons into roses, and I think it came out really well! and between patrons taking handouts and giving compliments, I think this is one of the more popular programs! Find the trifold with instructions here.
