Look here! Artistics Creations by You

Not only do do we post reviews by you, but we also enthusiastically accept any art that you create and we will post it to the Teen Blog.  Whether it's drawings, photography, or even instructions for creating a cool craft or a recipe (click here for an example of a craft Haley previously submitted).  You can turn in your work to the Fiction/AV/Teen desk on the second floor.  Once you turn in the work, though, we cannot guarantee it's return.  Please make a copy of your work, if necessary, and turn in the copy to us.  Also, we can not guarantee all work will be posted.  Check out our most recent submission below:

Fleece Tie Pillow craft by Haley

Fleece tie pillows are a very creative craft to do.

1st- you will need to buy 2 pieces of fleece and have measured.

2nd- you need to cut out the square ends on each side.

3rd- you need to start tying the pillow together with the other piece of fabric.

 ** Also make sure when you tie the pillow that all sides are tied in a knot evenly and connected.

4th- continue tying the pillow but leave one side open to put polyester cotton in.

5th- then you put the cotton in on the open side.

6th- if it is a big pillow then you will need a whole bag, but if its a small pillow 13 by 13 inch then you will only need half of the bag of cotton.

7th- then your pillow is completed and you will be able to take it with you when you travel in the car or have it as a extra pillow for you to sleep on.
