This is a take and make craft, so to register you need to email teens@sbpl.info.  There will be a limited number of kits available.  Everyone is encouraged to submit pictures of the completed projects for sharing to the teen Instagram account.    All who have received a kit will be emailed the zoom link to attend the event at least a week before.
