Gardening in the high prairie can be difficult, so the staff at High Prairie Library have created this handy year-long guide to making the most out of your gardening efforts!
Take and Makes for this project will be available at area PPLD libraries beginning this Friday, Jan. 29, 2021.
Supplies and Directions
Provided in your bag: a bookmark, a stylus, and a ribbon
From home: you will need a book, so you can use your new bookmark!
- Think about what you want to draw on your bookmark: your name, a space sky, a flowery garden, stripes, polka dots, anything you like!
- Using the stylus, scratch your scene into the bookmark. Keep in mind the hole goes at the top for your ribbon, so make sure you scratch your scene the right way up.
- After you're done with the rainbow scratching, tie your ribbon through the hole at the top of the bookmark to give it even more color!
- Pick a book and use your colorful bookmark!
