We know three are a lot of crafters who work in libraries. And of course, crafting is a great type of program to do in any type of library! Each week we are sharing links to a craft that you might want to try in your library – or work on it yourself. (Hint: we would love to see photos when you are done!!)

This week we are admiring these adorable little bee hives. Click on the link to this blog to get all the information on how you can make these yourself.

” Here is how I made my Bee Skep and I made two of them for less than $4.00!

Supplies

• Plastic pot or any dome shaped bowl – Mine was a 5″ pot from Dollar Tree
• 13 feet of rope from Dollar Tree.  That sounds like a lot and I was surprised that 1 plastic bowl used that much.  You may need more if your pot is larger or if your rope is thin.
• Hot glue and a hot glue gun
• Black Sharpie
• Exacto knife if you want to cut out the square “entrance”
• Scissors for cutting rope to make the handle”

Here is one shot of the final product:
