Take and create felt art kits coming

The Arrowhead Library System will be providing Felt Mitten and Heart Pockets Take & Create Kits for member public libraries — including Carlton, Cloquet and Moose Lake libraries — to distribute in December. This art experience, created by MN Artist Mary Mulari, includes instructions and supplies for creating 6 felt pockets to trim a tree, make a garland, or use as colorful holders for treats, gift cards, or special notes. The pockets can be sewn by hand or machine. Kits will include simple instructions and all needed materials, including: felt, assorted ribbons and buttons, an alphabet to trace for monograms, and ideas for personalizing each pocket. The link to a YouTube video showing the steps of making the pockets will also be provided.
