Craft Kit: Snowy Village

It probably *knock on wood* won't snow here this December, but you can create your own snowy village with this week's craft kit! Pick it up in the Children's Department or at the drive through.

Follow along with the photos below and feel free to add your own flourishes to make your village unique! Based on the Paper Winter craft from krokotak.com

1. You'll need a glue stick, scissors, and markers 2. Accordion fold the bottom of the white paper

3. Stop folding about 4 inches from the top. 4. Apply glue to the first fold

5. Fold in half so the glued areas stick to each other

6. Your white paper should stand on its own now. 7. If you want, trim off the edges of the blue paper so they're rounded

8. Glue the blue paper to the back of the white to create the sky. 9. Cut squares and rectangles for your houses

10. The yellow paper can become windows or roofs or the sun in the sky!

11. Cut trees from the green paper

12. Glue your village with the folds!

Zaki Con 2019: Cosplay Contest!

The final event of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

1. Gather supplies. 2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even. 6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
