Learn beading and crocheting with 4-H

Create with 4-H this Spring Break

Registration open now!

Learn how to bead or sequin, and learn how to crochet spa loofahs. Spend the day building new skills, having fun, and meeting other creative kids and teens. 

• Beads & sequins | Ages 10-18 | March 28 | 10 a.m. to noon | $10
  • Learn how to bead & sequin for fashion or fun. Youth will sew accents, using thread and a needle, to stylize a T-shirt. Choose to accent a shirt's design or logo (see example), or create your own design on a plain shirt.
  • Please bring a shirt with you. Other supplies included.

• Crochet | Ages 8-18 | March 28 | 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. | Free
  • Learn a simple crochet pattern and create a circular "scrubbie," similar to a spa loofah. Use netting or special yarn to make these flat loofahs, great for exfoliating skin or cleaning of coated pans, non-stick cookware, or even the kitchen sink.
  • As a group, we'll be creating several scrubbies, so you can take one home and share others for our community service project to donate. 
  • Already know how to crochet? Come join the fun, spend some time visiting and doing a hands-on activity, and help us to create more items for this community service project.
  • Supplies: The office has crochet hooks and all supplies available. You're welcome to bring your favorite hook as well.

Important Notes: For participants who want to attend both sessions, please feel free to bring a nut-free sack lunch for between programs. Please register for each program separately.
