How does Virtual TinkerTime Work:
TinkerSpace staff will show a basic technique. You can then tinker with the idea and make something as simple or complex as you desire. We are choosing activities that are suitable for young children working with their parents, children ages 6+ working on their own, and for advanced crafters (up to adults) trying out techniques that might interest and inspire others.

A half-hour before the Virtual TinkerTime, you will be sent a Zoom link to join. You do not need to have the Zoom App on your device, you can enter the Zoom room just by clicking the link you will be given.
You will need a space to work, a small piece of corrugated cardboard (4″ x 3″), scissors for cutting cardboard, yarn (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple), sharp scissors for cutting yarn, scotch tape, and a wide-eyed yarn needle. Optional: thinner yarn to create the warp,
[Hint: adult hands will need to prepare the cardboard loom. Cut semicircle out of the cardboard. Make two slits near the center of the straight portion of the semicircle and cut around 13 slits evenly spaced along the arch of the semicircle). If you plan on leaving the weaving ON the cardboard loom (recommended for our youngest friends), you might wish to paint the cardboard before weaving your rainbow.]
[You can purchase a kit from TinkerSpace (pick-up only) with one prepared cardboard loom (cut to shape, painted blue, and strung with purple warp threads), Yarn in 7 colors of the rainbow precut, and a plastic yarn needle.] Click the PayPal link below to purchase your kit (PayPal or credit/bank cards).
