Have plans on Monday night? Well, you do now! Dust off your crafty pants and come join us for our weekly Craft Night at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn. Each craft night is also broadcast live in the Treehouse room of the Virtual Labs. All demos will be shown both in the Labs in Brooklyn and in the Treehouse online.

For our Monday, September 8 Craft Night, we will be making instant books! This instant satisfaction method of making simple books is a fun way to make your own books and zines out of a humble sheet of paper or scrap of fabric. Make a zine, write a letter, compose a short story, create a one-week dayplanner. Please bring any papers and collage materials that you would like to transform into a book. If you have a bone folder, bring that along too. All other tools and supplies will be provided by the Etsy Labs.

Are you joining us virtually for Craft Night this week? If so, and you would like to craft along with us, you'll need a few supplies:

• bone folder (if you have one)
• paper
• scissors
• any additional paper, ephemera, collage material and pens you'd like to use to embellish your book

 
Craft Night occurs every Monday from 4-8pm at 325 Gold Street, 3rd floor in Brooklyn, New York. Each week the Etsy Labs organize a skill-sharing project. We provide supplies, tools, space and know-how. Participants are also welcome to bring their own projects to work on independently. Craft Night is a time to make things, learn new skills and hang out.
