Add some sparkle to your bookshelf by bedazzling part of your favorite book cover!

Bring your favorite book to give it a sparkly makeover with diamond art gems! Using rhinestones and glue, you'll transform a plain book cover into a unique treasure.

Don't forget your own book to decorate (or you can decorate one of ours to keep). We recommend bringing a book with a clear, simple design.

Grades 6 - 12 only. Starting on July 20 at 9 am, online registration required as space is limited.
