Our Beginnings
Our humble beginnings were mostly craft or art-based, as that is all our budget allowed for. For an investment of around $50, and use of materials we had on our shelves, here is what our makerspace started with:
- Books with project ideas, including books on origami, arts and crafts, tinkering, duct tape art, and altered books (see resource list for detailed titles)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Rulers
- Duct tape, in three colors
- Ribbon
- Colored pencils, markers, and crayons
- Tissue paper
- Construction paper
- Withdrawn books
- Withdrawn magazines
- Cardboard boxes, toilet paper and paper towel rolls, and any other reusable materials
- Rainbow loom and rubber bands
- Puzzles
