Creative Challenge 8
Title:
Make-Aways
Artform:
Creative craft
Challenge:
Most Gloucestershire Libraries will be offering Make-Aways. Each pack contains all you need for a simple craft. Libraries are designing their own packs based on the craft materials they have available.
To pick up a pack, check with your local library if they can offer this challenge. Individual craft instructions will be attached to the pack.
Resources:
Everything is provided in the packs available from participating libraries.
Getting started:
To pick up a pack, call the library of your choice and arrange a collection time, or ask for a pack when you come to collect your book order/reservations. Individual craft instructions will be attached to the pack.
Can’t get to the library, then have a look at the video demonstration of Tom making an origami bookmark here.

Our library staff aim to provide free, simple craft activities accessible to all children. Because of coronavirus we can’t offer this in libraries at the moment. We still want children to have access to craft that does not require internet instructions, or a well-stocked craft box at home. This is our way of continuing to make simple creative projects available to all families.
Artist: Tom Graham
