This month, we will upcycle glass jars and bottles and transform them into beautiful vases by decoupaging.
Decoupage is a crafting technique where layers of patterned papers are glued onto objects like glass vases, frames, boxes, etc. It's a creative way to repurpose old items and add a personalized touch.
Join us for some fun paper crafts using comic book pages and paper that are great for all ages at Claremont Branch Library.
Be sure to pick up your free comic books while you are here!
