Library display: May 2014

It's graduation time!

We love flowers, though, and decided it was imperative to continue having flowers on the display.  And since we have a lovely tie-in sign from last year (reduce, recycle, reuse!) it was a win-win.

Spring into Graduation!


This was another easy one to do, except for the little "graduation caps".  And really, those weren't all  that difficult, either.


Black poster board cut into 8"x8" squares.  A triangle for the back with the tip cut at an angle to make a "stand".  I followed these instructions at Sew4Home to make the tiny tassels out of basic embroidery thread (that I had in my crafty box at home).  Then I poked a hole through the center and fed the thread through and taped it on the back side.  Cut a little circle of poster board to make the button.  Used a white paint pen to write on them.  Making the tassel required a few trials, but they took me about five minutes each after I got going.

For the front window we just made a new sign and printed ebook covers.


And finally (my favorite, of course) the welcome dry-erase board:


Fun!!
