Turn cut-out words into portable poems

Make a charm, bracelet, or bookmark tie using clear beads and words cut from magazines or calendars. Choose an anchor word, build a short line, and leave with portable poetry. No experience needed.

Join us to make a charm, bracelet, or bookmark tie using clear beads, cord, and words cut from magazines or calendar pages. Choose one anchor word, build a short line, or follow a prompt to create a small piece of portable poetry.

Work quietly, talk with other teens, or ask staff for help getting started. This program uses small beads. Materials provided while supplies last. No registration required.
