Teen Creativity Kits: Beaded Fairy Gardens

4/6/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
This month’s Grab & Go project celebrates the upcoming spring season. Create your own lively fairy-garden scene using embroidery and beading techniques! The included frame and embroidery hoop provide a wonderful way to present your craft.
 
Supplies Provided
  • Embroidery hoop, embroidery floss, embroidery needle, frame, fabric, beads, beading needle
 
Supplies you have at home
  • Scissors, tape
 
Instructions:
Step 1: Stretch the green fabric on the embroidery hoop. To do this, loosen the screw on the hoop, and remove the inner hoop. Place the inner hoop on a table and set the fabric on top of it. Then, fit the larger hoop onto the smaller hoop. The fabric should be stretched tightly between the two hoops. Tighten the screw.
Step 2: Use the embroidery needle (the large needle) to stitch stems onto the fabric.
Step 3: Use your beading needle (the smaller needle) to stitch beads around the top of the embroidered “stems.” Don’t forget to tie the loose threads together on the back of the fabric.
Step 4: Display your garden! If you want to leave your craft in the embroidery hoop, you will only need to trim the excess fabric. If you want to frame your fairy garden, remove the embroidery hoop and place the embroidered fabric face down on a table. Next, remove the black frame backing and place it on top of the fabric. Be sure to center the backing over the design. Next, fold the edges around the backing. You may have to trim the fabric to make this easier. Use the black metal tabs on the frame to keep your fairy garden in the frame.

Jardines de Hadas: Bordado Con Cuentas

El proyecto Grab & Go de este mes celebra la próxima temporada de primavera. ¡Crea tu propia y animada escena de jardín de hadas usando técnicas de bordado y abalorios! El marco y el aro de bordado incluidos brindan una manera maravillosa de presentar su artesanía.

Suministros proporcionados
  • Aro de bordar, hilo de bordar, aguja de bordar, bastidor, tela, cuentas, aguja para cuentas
 
Suministros que tienes en casa
  • Tijeras, cinta adhesiva
 
Instrucciones:
Paso 1: Estira la tela verde en el aro de bordado. Para hacer eso, afloja el tornillo del aro y retira el aro interior. Coloca el aro interior sobre una mesa y pon la tela encima. Luego, encaja el aro más grande en el aro más pequeño. La tela debe estar bien estirada entre los dos aros. Ajusta el tornillo.
Paso 2: Usa la aguja de bordar (la aguja grande) para coser tallos de puntada en la tela.
Paso 3: Usa tu aguja para cuentas (la aguja más pequeña) para coser cuentas alrededor de la parte superior de los "tallos" bordados. No olvides atar los hilos sueltos en la parte posterior de la tela.
Paso 4: ¡Exhibe tu jardín! Si deseas dejar tu artesanía en el bastidor de bordado, solo tendrás que recortar el exceso de tela. Si deseas enmarcar tu jardín de hadas, retira el aro de bordado y coloca la tela bordada boca abajo sobre una mesa. A continuación, retira el respaldo del marco negro y colócalo sobre la tela. Asegúrate de centrar el respaldo sobre el diseño. Luego, dobla los bordes alrededor del respaldo. Es posible que tengas que recortar la tela para que sea más fácil. Usa las pestañas de metal negro en el marco para mantener tu jardín de hadas en el marco.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place. We encourage personal responsibility to prevent the spread. The library is cleaned regularly, but tables and equipment are not disinfected between uses. ​

Masks are appreciated and social distancing is encouraged. All programs are subject to attendance caps and we have reduced the number of people who can be in our various Meeting Rooms. Our Large Study 4-6 people, Small Study Rooms 2-3, Conference Room 6-10 and Community Room at 45, plus staff.

Basalt Library has been following Pitkin County’s COVID-19 information and recommendations. You may register to receive weekly email data summaries by emailing: pitkinnews@pitkincounty.com. For COVID-19 data related information, please visit Pitkin County COVID-19 data dashboards. Pitkin also offers a hotline at 970-429-3363.

Other County Related Data Resources:
  • Pitkin County COVID-19 Case Data
  • Garfield County Data/Indicators
  • Eagle County Data/Indicators
  • State of Colorado Data

Throughout the pandemic Basalt Library has offered a number of services including the ability for patrons to have “no contact book pickup” through our Curbside service. These books are already checked out to your library card account and are available outside the library’s main entrance during our regular business hours. This service is available to you by simply clicking on the dropdown menu during the Hold process and choosing whether you want to pick up at Curbside or inside the library from the Hold Shelf. Hold shelf books do require you to go to the self check out desk or visit our Patron desk.

Since November 2021, we have been able to participate in Vaccines for All Colorado, bringing a vaccine clinic to the Library twice a month in order for the public to receive their 1st and 2nd doses, pediatric doses for 5-12 year olds, and/or boosters of all FDA-approved vaccines. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Safety have partnered with a number of our state’s schools, libraries and other public institutions in order to meet the demand and support those who would like to receive the vaccine or booster. 

The Library is informed by our mission, and has adapted and created new programs to ensure our resources are available to all. The Basalt Regional Library District affords our community free and equitable access to information, tools and connections that nurture lifelong learning in a safe and welcoming space. Besides offering our patrons with the Curbside Pickup, we loan out Book Bundles, Wifi Hot Spots, Chromebook and Laptop lending, and have Wireless Printing. Patrons are able to select, view and borrow all sorts of different media and resources, free of charge, by using their library card from the convenience of their home. Simply go to basaltlibrary.org/online-resources.

Additionally, in July 2021 we announced our Fine Free Policy. Hereby making available to all patrons the ability to read and use our library’s resources, books and other materials without banning anyone’s ability, due to potential fines or charges if late. We simply ask that you keep to our due dates, especially for those items or books that are on hold for other patrons.

We are proud to be able to share with you that on January __, 2022, Basalt Library was awarded the Communities for Immunity grant to boost COVID-19 vaccine confidence in communities across the United States. This grant provides funds to museums, libraries, science centers, and other cultural institutions to enhance vaccine confidence where it matters most: at the local level. Building on the many ways this organization supports their communities during the pandemic, the partnership will activate museums and libraries to create and deliver evidence-driven materials and develop resources, programs, and approaches, specifically designed to help them engage diverse audiences in building trust in the COVID-19 vaccine. ​

Teen Creativity Kit: Tie Dyeing with Ice

3/1/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

Tie dyeing with ice can produce some of the most unique and beautiful textile designs. As the ice melts, it dissolves the dye slowly, creating a complicated pattern that can’t be made any other way.
 
Supplies Provided
  • Plastic bin
  • Gloves
  • Tea towel
  • Dye powder
 
Supplies you have at home
  • Ice
  • Sink
 
Instructions:
Step 1: Scrunch up the tea towel and place it in the plastic bin. The towel should not be folded or rolled in a ball. Instead, wrinkle the tea towel so that it takes up as much space as possible in the plastic bin without spilling out.
 
Step 2: Next, add ice or snow on top of the tea towel. Use enough ice or snow to completely cover the towel.  
 
Step 3: Put the gloves on and sprinkle the powdered dye on top of the ice. Try overlapping some colors and leaving some colors separate.
 
Step 4: Put the plastic lid on the bin and wait for about 8 hours.
 
Step 5: Take your towel out of the bin and rinse it under running water until the water runs clear.

Teen Creativity Kit: Pony Bead Keychains

1/19/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Supplies Provided
• Pony beads
• 3 silver and 3 gold keyrings
• 6 feet of blue beading cord
• 6 feet of green beading cord
Supplies You Have at Home
• Scissors
  1. Fold the string in half and put the folded end through the middle of the key ring. Pull the loose ends of the string through the folded end of the string and pull tight to create a knot around the key ring. You should have two loose ends still hanging down from the key ring.
  2. Thread one bead onto the left sting. Pull the bead all the way up to the key ring. Thread the right string through the bead the opposite way you threaded the left sting through. Pull the strings tight to hold the bead in place.
  3. Thread two beads onto the left string. Pull the beads all the way up so they are underneath the single bead you already added. Again, thread the right string through the beads the opposite way you threaded the left string through. Pull the strings tight to hold all beads in place.
  4. Repeat step 3, adding an additional bead each time until you reach the middle row. The middle row should be six or seven beads.
  5. Repeat step 3, decreasing the number of beads used in each row until you are back to a single bead. You should have a diamond pattern, and each end should be an equal distance from the longest, middle row.
  6. Tie off the ends of the string close to the last bead to hold all the beads together tightly.
*Tip: Lay the beads out on a table before stringing them to figure out what type of pattern and color you want to use to make your keychain. More ideas and patterns can be found by searching “Pony bead keychain patterns” on Pinterest.com

​Llaveros con cuentas de Poni

Materiales Suministrados
• Cuentas de poni
• 3 llaveros de plata y 3 de oro
• 6 pies de cordón azul
• 6 pies de cordón verde
Materiales que tienes en casa
• Tijeras
  1. Dobla el cordón por la mitad y pasa el extremo doblado por el centro del llavero. Tira de los extremos sueltos del cordón a través del extremo plegado del cordón y tira con fuerza para crear un nudo alrededor del llavero. Deberían quedar dos cabos sueltos colgando del llavero.
  2. Enhebra una cuenta en el extremo izquierdo. Tira de la cuenta hasta el llavero. Pasa el cordón derecho a través de la cuenta en el sentido contrario al que enhebraste el cordón izquierdo. Tira de los cordones para mantener la cuenta en su sitio.
  3. Enhebra dos cuentas en el cordón izquierdo. Tira de las cuentas hacia arriba para que queden por debajo de la cuenta que has añadido. De nuevo, enhebra el cordón derecho a través de las cuentas en el sentido contrario al que has enhebrado el cordón izquierdo. Tira de los cordones para mantener todas las cuentas en su sitio.
  4. Repite el paso 3, añadiendo una cuenta más cada vez hasta llegar a la fila central. La fila central debe tener seis o siete cuentas.
  5. Repite el paso 3, disminuyendo el número de cuentas utilizadas en cada fila hasta que vuelvas a tener una sola cuenta. Debes tener un patrón de diamante, y cada extremo debe estar a la misma distancia de la fila más larga, la del medio.
  6. Ata los extremos del cordón cerca de la última cuenta para mantener todas las cuentas juntas firmemente.
* Consejo: Coloca las cuentas en una mesa antes de enhebrarlas para saber qué tipo de patrón y color quieres usar para hacer tu llavero. Puedes encontrar más ideas y patrones buscando "Pony bead keychain patterns" en Pinterest.com

Teen Creativity Kits: Celebrate the Chinese New Year!

1/4/2022

January 5th: Chinese New Year Lanterns
Picture
Supplies Provided
  • Paper Lantern
  • Pom poms
  • Yarn
  • Paint
  • Glue
  • Paintbrush
Supplies You Have at Home
  • Scissors
  • Hot Glue
  • Other items to add to your lantern
It’s the year of the Tiger! Have fun decorating your very own lantern to celebrate the new year. The 2022 Chinese New Year begins in February 1, 2022 and lasts for 15 days. This holiday is based on the lunar calendar and this changes each year. During this time, traditional dragon dances symbolize peace, good luck and good harvest in the year ahead.

  1. Remove all supplies from the bag and separate the items on a table so you have them ready when you need them.
  2. Start by putting your lantern together. You will want to expand the paper lantern. Then use the metal frame to carefully place inside the lantern to hold it in the shape of a ball. The paper is very thin so work slowly and ask for help!
  3. Now you will need to decide how to decorate your lantern. You can make patterns, stripes, dots, or pictures of the Tiger! When using paint, you will want to be gentle with your brush during this part so you don’t make a hole in the lantern. Plan ahead so you aren’t painting over one spot more than once.
  4.  Let your lantern completely dry before adding embellishments.
  5. Once your lantern is dry, use the glue to add pom poms, tie yarn to the bottom of your lantern to add depth and color, and glue on small sequins.
  6. Let this dry and then hang it to display all year!

Materiales suministrados

  • Pompones
  • Hilo/Lana
  • Pintura
  • Pegamento
  • Pincel
Materiales que tienes en casa
  • Tijeras
  • Pegamento caliente

¡Es el año del Tigre! Diviértete decorando tu propio farol para celebrar el año nuevo. El Año Nuevo Chino 2022 comienza el 1 de febrero de 2022 y dura 15 días. Esta fiesta se basa en el calendario lunar y éste cambia cada año. Durante esta época, las danzas tradicionales del dragón simbolizan la paz, la buena suerte y las buenas cosechas en el año que comienza.
  1. Saca todos los suministros de la bolsa y separa los artículos en una mesa para tenerlos listos cuando los necesites.
  2. Comienza por armar tu farol. Querrás desplegar el farol de papel. A continuación, utiliza el marco metálico para colocarlo con cuidado dentro del farol y mantenerlo en forma de bola. El papel es muy fino, así que trabaja despacio y pide ayuda.
  3. Ahora tendrás que decidir cómo decorar tu farol. Puedes hacer patrones, rayas, puntos o dibujos del Tigre. Si utilizas pintura, deberás ser suave con el pincel durante esta parte para no hacer un agujero en el farol. Planifica con antelación para no pintar sobre un punto más de una vez.
  4. Deja que el farol se seque por completo antes de añadir los adornos.
  5. Una vez que el farol esté seco, utiliza el pegamento para añadir pompones, ata hilo a la parte inferior del farol para añadir profundidad y color, y pega pequeñas lentejuelas.
  6. Deja que se seque y cuélgalo para exhibirlo todo el año.

Kids & Teens Grab & Go Activity: Japanese Side-Sewn Books

12/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Create your own sketchbook or journal with a Japanese side-sewn binding! Step-by-step instructions are below, but we recommend logging into CreativeBug with your library card number to watch their Japanese Side Sewn Sketchbook, or Kids Japanese Side Sewn Book tutorials. These videos will be especially helpful when it comes to threading your binding!

Materials Included in your Kit
  • 10 sheets of blank paper, 8.5 x 5.5”
  • 2 sheets of cover paper, 8.5 x 5.5”
  • 2 clothespins
  • Embroidery floss
  • Embroidery needle
  • Awl/bone folding tool
  • Bookbinding pattern​​

Picture

​Materials From Home
  • Scissors
  • Cutting matt, or another surface you don’t mind scuffing up
  • Optional: hole punch
Instructions

  1.  Stack your book together, with your blank paper sandwiched between your two cover papers. Once you have everything lined up and looking neat, use the clothespins to keep everything in place.
Picture
2. Cut out the 4-/hole/ Yotsume toji bookbinding pattern. Use the awl to poke holes through the dots on the pattern.
​

3. Place your bookbinding pattern on top of your front cover, lining up the edge of your template with the edge of your cover. Using a cutting matt, poke holes as indicated on the pattern through all your layers of paper. Making this project with younger kids? Use a hole punch to create holes for the binding instead of the awl - just stick to the pattern!
Picture
​4. Thread your needle with the provided string. Thread your string through the third hole from the top, leaving a 3” tail between the pages. Heading towards the top of the book, weave your needle and thread through each hole. Remember to go around the side edge of the book, and around the top and bottom edges as well, while having threaded between each adjacent hole, front and back. We recommend watching the video tutorials to see how this works - it’s not as hard as it sounds! You can skip ahead to this section by clicking “Binding” in the chapters section.
Picture
5. If bound correctly, your thread will end near the tail we started with. Tie this together with a small amount of slack and trim the ends to about half an inch. Tuck the small tail ends deeper into the binding, and your Japanese Side-Sewn Book is ready for sketching or writing!

Encuadernación Japonesa con cosido a los lados
Proyecto de Arte para llevar a casa Niños y Adolescente


¡Crea tu propio cuaderno de bocetos o tu diario con una encuadernación japonesa con cosido a los lados! Las instrucciones paso a paso se encuentran a continuación, pero le recomendamos iniciar sesión en CreativeBug usando el número de su tarjeta de la biblioteca, donde encontrará tutoriales cómo:                                   Japanese Side Sewn Sketchbook 

Kids Japanese Side Sewn Book
​
¡Estos videos serán especialmente útiles cuando se trata de enhebrar su encuadernación!

Materiales incluidos en su kit
10 hojas de papel en blanco, 8.5 x 5.5 ”
​2 hojas de papel de portada, 8.5 x 5.5 ”
2 ganchos de ropa
Hilo de bordado
Aguja para bordar
Punzón

Materiales de casa
Tijeras
Cualquier superficie que sirva como base para cortar  (sufrirá cortes en su superficie)
Opcional: perforadora
Patrón de encuadernación para los agujeros.

Instrucciones
1. Apile las hojas de  papel en blanco y coloque los dos papeles de portada al comienzo y al final. Una vez que tenga todo alineado y luciendo ordenado, use los ganchos para  ropa para mantener todo en su lugar.

2. Recorte el patrón de encuadernación de 4 agujeros / Yotsume toji. Utilice el punzón para hacer agujeros a través de los puntos en el patrón.

3. Coloque su patrón de encuadernación en la parte superior de su portada, alineando el borde de su plantilla con el borde de su portada. Utilice la superficie que sirva como base para cortar y haga agujeros como se indica en el patrón a través de todas las capas de papel. ¿Estás haciendo este proyecto con niños más pequeños? Use una perforadora para crear agujeros para la unión en lugar del punzón, ¡solo manténgase en el patrón!
4. Enhebre su aguja con el hilo provisto. Pase su hilo a través del tercer agujero desde la parte superior, dejando una cola de 3 ”entre las páginas. Dirigiéndose hacia la parte superior del libro, entreteje la aguja y el hilo a través de cada agujero. Recuerde rodear el borde lateral del libro y también los bordes superior e inferior, mientras ha pasado entre cada orificio adyacente, por delante y por detrás. Recomendamos ver los tutoriales en vídeo para ver cómo funciona. Puede pasar a esta sección haciendo clic en "Encuadernación" en la sección de capítulos.

5. Si se encuaderna correctamente, su hilo terminará cerca de la cola con la que comenzamos. Ate esto junto con una pequeña cantidad de holgura y recorte los extremos a aproximadamente media pulgada. Introduzca los extremos pequeños dentro del encuadernado, ¡y tu libro japonés cosido a los lados estará listo para dibujar o escribir!

Proud Recipients of a Communities for Immunity grant!

Picture
The Basalt Regional Library is pleased to announce it is a recipient of the Round Two Communities for Immunity grant, awarded to 50 museums,  libraries, and tribal organizations serving urban, suburban, and rural populations across 33 states.

Supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Communities for Immunity provides funding awards and support to museums and libraries engaging their communities to boost COVID-19 vaccine confidence. As trusted community partners, museums and libraries play a critical role in building vaccine confidence and fighting the pandemic.

The Basalt Regional Library will host public programs with local and regional medical professionals and scientists in conversations regarding the history of vaccines in the 20th century and their social and cultural impacts. The Library is also collaborating with the graphic novelist R Alan, creator of the Colorado Sun’s weekly strip “What I’d Miss”, to create a graphic essay on the importance of the current vaccine campaign. 
​

These programs will supplement the Library’s on-going vaccine clinics as part of Governor Polis’ “Vaccines for All” plan. 
“Through this unprecedented partnership, Communities for Immunity is providing nearly 100 museums, libraries, and tribal organizations across the country with over $1.6 million over two rounds of funding to help their community members make well-informed decisions about COVID-19 and vaccinations,” said Laura Lott, President and CEO of the American Alliance of Museums. “These organizations are linchpins in helping bring an end to the pandemic and leading their communities into a brighter, healthier future.”
