Get Creative in Cherry Creek

Submitted by Tara on July 27, 2010 - 11:13pm

Whether you are looking for a fun and easy craft to revitalize your refrigerator, an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, or a new creative outlet to express yourself, we would love for you to join us for our Magnet Making event at the Ross-Cherry Creek Branch Library Saturday, July 31 at 10 a.m.

Inspired by a button maker, an abundance of old magazines and a creative eye, these magnets combine all my favorite elements of handicraft including reusing normally discarded materials!

Looking for more great craft or DIY projects for home? The library has many resources for artisans of all skills and interests!
