Arrowhead Library Systems Felt Mitten and Heart Pockets Take and Create Kits

The Arrowhead Library System (ALS) will be providing Felt Mitten and Heart Pockets Take & Create Kits during the month of 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.

Take & Create Art 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. Kits will be distributed at the following public libraries and ALS outreach locations:
