March is full of reasons to celebrate! From the first day of Spring to St. Patrick’s Day, it’s the perfect time to get creative. Make a festive sign to welcome the season and join in the celebration!

Discover the creative possibilities with Cricut! In this hands-on program, you’ll explore how to use our Cricut cutting machines to personalize fun and functional projects. Cricut machines can cut materials like vinyl, cardstock, and fabric with precision, making them perfect for custom crafts. We’ll provide precut designs you can personalize and assemble—no prior experience needed. Join us for a fun, creative session and take home your own unique Cricut creation!

Choose from a variety of pre-printed permanent vinyl phrases to get started! Then make it your own with vinyl images, faux florals, ribbons, and so much more. We’ll have loads of Spring inspiration—plus plenty of green for all you St. Paddy’s Day lovers! Bring the fun—leave with something fabulous.

Interested in learning how to craft on your own time? Try the Craft & Hobby online database for free! WPL patrons can watch tutorials about sewing, woodworking, crochet, photography, cake decorating, and more!
