Teen Craft Projects 2 (book)


Coleman, T. & Llanes, P. (2013) Teen Craft Projects 2. Chicago, IL: American Library Association.

From the authors of the enormously popular Hipster Librarian’s Guide to Teen Craft Projects comes an all-new selection of innovative ideas. These projects have been chosen especially to engage tweens and teens—and have been field-tested by YA librarian Amy Alessio’s Teen Corps, students in grades 6–12 at the Schaumburg Township (IL) Public Library. For maximum fun, this book
  • Includes a variety of crafts that make use of recycled and repurposed materials
  • Lists the tools and equipment needed for each project, followed by step-by-step instructions and photographs
  • Assigns a difficulty level, ideal group size, and suggests a timeframe for each activity
  • Offers several “Quick-fire” options to fit crafting into shorter time slots
With numerous projects easy enough to be assembled in the library either by groups or someone working alone, this book will get YA librarians, educators, and their students whipping up creative crafts in no time!
