Fun Tween Workshop at our Local Library

Thank you, Guilford Free Library, for inviting me to lead a workshop for Tweens this past Wednesday!  We had so much fun making yarn from t-shirts and weaving little coasters for our mugs of hot cocoa.

Eco-Friendly Mug Rugs Workshop January 14, 2020


There was so much creative energy in the room as we cut our previously-loved t-shirts and made our yarn.

Time to weave on our circular looms!

It Looks Beautiful!

 A few workshop participants took their in-process work home for finishing, but here is one that was completed.

Eco-Friendly Mug Rug
Such a fun, worthwhile project!  Good for the environment and good for the participants, who all left the workshop with knowledge about how to make their own yarn from old t-shirts at home, extra t-shirt yarn for new projects, AND either an almost completed or fully completed mug rug!
