We know there 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!!)

You may be starting to think about Valentine’s Day crafting. We found this very cute basket you can make pretty easily, and fill it up with all sorts of library-loving material!

For this craft, you need a few basic items:

• heavy cardboard
• toothpicks
• felt
• yarn
• decorative embellishments

You can find all the instructions here, along with several other easy to do crafting projects. (This is #9 in the list.)

Get ready to spread some Valentine’s love for libraries! Or, use this plan with a different underlying cardboard shape to do different kinds of crafting projects. There are so many possibilities to try here!
