SSPL has been offering take-and-make felt craft kits to adults and families since Fall 2021. In the three-year period through Fall 2024, we gave out over 3,500 free project kits! For the anniversary of Festive Fun with Felt (Nov. 2024), we are handing out throwback kits with all the needed materials for our top three* contenders. The votes are in and kit production is in progress...check back in November or stop by the library's Information Desk at that time to see who won the popular vote!

*Patrons voted for their favorites from the top ten previous most popular kit options throughout August 2024. See the full list below.

Functional Coin Pouch

Originally offered in March 2023
The coin pouch was initially themed to go along with St. Patrick's Day (to store gold coins, of course) but was additionally offered in other color combinations. Design simply or not, according to taste!

Happy Hummingbird Decoration

Originally offered in June 2024
The hummingbird was part of the interwoven bird theme popular for many months, making use of a simple colored toothpick for the long and narrow beak.

Hot Cocoa Magnet

Originally offered in January 2023
The mug of cocoa was meant to bring a smile to the maker's face, as a reminder of a sweet way to warm up during the long winter months! Why not have a sip while reading a good book?

Love and Peace Decoration

Originally offered in February 2024
The love and peace heart subtly brought in the continuing bird theme along with the beauty of falling snow and a nod to Valentine's Day. It would make a great ornament for the winter holidays, too!

Paint Palette Magnet

Originally offered in July 2023
The paint palette was themed around World Watercolor Month and is a fun way to make use of little bits leftover from other projects...including fun colorful buttons!

Pretty Peacock Decoration

Originally offered in January 2024
The peacock was part of the interwoven bird theme popular for many months, featuring cool wintry colors for the season. Recognize the basic shape from any other month?

Pudgy Bunny Magnet

Originally offered in March 2023
The pudgy bunny was themed to coincide with Easter and emerging spring wildlife using smooth, simple shapes. Recognize the body shape from any other month?

Pumpkin Pie Magnet

Originally offered in November 2022
The slice of pie was themed to go with a traditional Thanksgiving meal. The whipped cream pom poms and crimped crust give the project a fun 3D effect.

Red-Winged Blackbird Decoration

Originally offered in April 2024
The red-winged blackbird was part of the interwoven bird theme popular for many months, with its appearance in nature being a sign of spring. Attach it to a small twig perch for a touch of whimsy!

Watermelon Corner Bookmark

Originally offered in July 2023
The layered watermelon bookmark was designed leading up to National Watermelon Day (8/3) and celebrates this iconic, refreshing summer treat.
