Make & Take Apple Pie (Online)

Our DIY community is invited to continue making projects together as our Make and Take series moves into the virtual world! This month’s project is apple pie. We will all use common materials we have around the house and follow an instructional video available through CreativeBug, a website you can access for free with your library card! Make your project anytime, then join your fellow Make & Take neighbors for a show-and-tell style meetup via Zoom. 

When you register for this event, we will email you a link to a Zoom meeting. If you need any help, please send us an email at cstream@cslibrary.org.

How to participate:

1. Register for this event.
2. Visit https://www.cslibrary.org/learn/creativebug and log in with your library card number and PIN.
3. Search for "How to Make Pie Crust" to see instructions and a video on how to perfectly mix pie dough and create a traditional closed top crust  
4. Make your craft, and show off your results in our Zoom meeting! We look forward to seeing your friendly faces and creative projects.
