Cereal Box Mechanical Cards: Holiday Edition with Shawn Sheehy (Online)

Schedule: Dec 1, 2020:  6:00pm - 8:00pm (ET) ; 
5:00pm - 7:00pm (CT); 4:00pm - 6:00pm (MT); 3:00pm - 5:00pm (PT) 

Stir a little whimsy into your holiday by creating a festive and giftable set of movable, mechanical cards. Each card features a traditional movable structure that's been adapted to accommodate the heaviness of cereal box chipboard. You'll build a simple wheel, a simple pull tab, and a wheel/pull tab combination. All you'll need—aside from the cereal boxes—is scrap paper, glue, some simple tools, and your imagination! All levels welcome.
