Summer crafting

We all have that drawer, closet, or cabinet filled with forgotten items that still have some life left in them. Construction paper, colored pencils, markers, glue, and other craft supplies sit there just waiting to be used. We often tell ourselves we'll do something with them someday, but we don't, and they remain untouched right where we left them.

Summer is the perfect time to change that. With longer days, a more relaxed schedule, and plenty of opportunities for fun, it's the ideal season to pull out those neglected supplies and create something new. Crafting isn't just for children, but adults too. There is no age limit on being creative. Whether you're making something on your own, gathering friends for a craft night, or spending time creating with your kids, those forgotten materials can be made into something very special.

So before buying new supplies, take a look at what you already have. You may be pleasantly surprised by the creative possibilities waiting in that drawer, closet, or cabinet.

If you're local, stop by our Free Community Craft Rack for inspiration and ideas. You can also join us for our Friday morning crafting group. Bring those supplies from home to share with others, exchange ideas, and get help turning what you have into something fun and creative!
