TECHNOLOGY CLASSES


Wednesday May 20

Get ready to decorate your own beach tote bag! In this class, you'll learn how to cut with a Cricut cutting machine. We'll provide all the materials, including beach totes.  If you have your own Cricut machine, you are welcome to bring your own, but the library will have a few available to be shared between crafters.

 

If you do not have experience with Cricut Machines, take a look at these videos to help become familiar with them, and then the last video to see a project being made:
