Fall is here and so begins a few months of holidays that many people celebrate: Halloween, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Winter’s Solstice, Christmas and Kwanzaa to name a few. Besides the busyness of this period, memories of the year also come to mind. Some are happy, some are difficult and others are thought-provoking. This year, I decided to make a memory jar to hold my thoughts and feelings. Our Crafternoon-To-Go kit this month is designed just for that. The kit will provide the supplies needed to create a beautiful, colorful jar to hold your memories. Important: Do not use these jars for edibles or for burning a real candle.
These kits will be available while they last in all of our branches on Friday, November 5. You may pick them up at the second floor reference desk at the Columbia library and near the service desks at our other branches.
There are instructions and supplies in your kit to make one memory jar. You will probably have enough food coloring left to make another jar or two for someone else — these would make a great holiday gift. This is an inexpensive craft that can be done with friends and family and we have many more library resources to help you “craft with glass.”
