Art Programs at the Library

Dried Flower Bookmarks

I went to a dried flower bookmark making program at the library. We used card stock for the bookmark canvas, and put dried flowers onto the card stock. We could also add stickers or draw on the paper. Then we put contact paper over it so that it stayed together and had the shiny look of a bookmark. We also were able to add tassles to the bookmarks using a hole punch to attach them.

I made two bookmarks, one long and one short, and I did dried flowers on one side of each, and flower stickers on the other side of each.

Reflection:
This program was simple yet brought out the joy of the spring! Some people made a few bookmarks, and intended to give them as gifts to their friends and family. I never did this before, and don’t think mine came out that good, but I think it was still fun.

Mindful Art Workshop

This was a very chill art program with all kinds of art supplies. I used writing tools called “gelatos” and they were kind of like crayons, except more creamy. You could spread and blend them with makeup sponges and also add water to make them like water color paints. I thought it was very cool! We spent a good hour doing that, and I came away with two pretty art pieces, if I do say so, myself.

Reflection:
I thought this program was very relaxing, and I’m thinking about buying myself some gelatos and sponges so I can do this at home whenever I want.
