Washington-area families are invited to make their next favorite holiday decoration during the Washington Public Library’s annual Holiday Gone Green event.

Youth Services Librarian Jenisa Harris will be teaching those of all ages how to transform old holiday greeting cards into a wreath. Harris shares how she comes up with each recyclable activity, “I use inspiration from Pinterest and just other crafts I’ve done. I saw the holiday wreaths with Christmas cards, you cut around the images on the card and kind of collage them on the wreath. I saw something like that and thought, ‘Oh, that’s really cool. I think a lot of people would like that. It could be snowflakes, it could be Santas, snowmen. So I think it’s a great way to use holiday cards and have something fun to hang up in your home.”

Holiday Gone Green will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Nicola Stoufer Room at the library. Registration is required, and participants can pick up a craft kit ahead of time and join the group via Zoom if desired. Attendees are not required to bring their own supplies, but are welcome to bring their own small items and other materials to individualize their wreath. Those in fifth grade and younger should be accompanied by an adult. Register by December 2nd by calling (319) 653-2726, and hear more from Harris during today’s Halcyon House Washington Page on air and at kciiradio.com.
