Makerspace: a crafter's dream!

Image
I have to confess: I have a walk-in closet full of crafting supplies. It's grown from a small tote, to a couple large totes, to an entire closet filled with glitter, clothespins, popsicle sticks, tissue paper, hot glue guns, sequins, pipe cleaners, beads ... you name it ... I could probably find it! So, when I read about makerspace on Twitter about two years ago, I decided to jump right in. This is a crafter's dream come true! Who ever thought I could share my love of craft projects at school as a librarian? I had lots of practice crafting with my own children. In fact, they were the ones who got me started with crafting. They are creative and visual, and would have wonderful ideas but needed me to get the supplies for them. We would go to the store, get the items they needed, and then I'd stand back and watch them create. It was absolutely awe-inspiring ... the things they could make using cotton batting, paper plates, glue and a scissor!
