Cindy Crushes Programming: Fandom Passports, by Teen Librarian Cindy Shutts

December 1, 2021 by Karen Jensen, MLS   Leave a Comment

Since the Pandemic has limited travel in a lot of ways, I have found myself exploring the world with Fandoms. I have been reading and visiting multiple and new worlds this way. I decided to make a fun twist on the travel passport by creating a fandom passport where the teens could talk about all the worlds they have visited for their favorite fandoms. It’s a great way to be creative and celebrate the things you love while creating a momento to look back on some day and remember who you were and what you loved at this stage of your life.

Cost: $ 40 but it could be cheaper if you already had some of the supplies.

Supplies

1. Notebook

2. Paper with images from different fandoms

I had some pre-printed (Pride and Prejudice, Grishaverse, Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, Among Us,  Percy Jackon, Lord of the Rings, She-ra, Various disney and Marvel, Animal Crossing, Star Wars, My Hero Academia, Sailor Moon and more) I tried to add as many maps and travel posters as I could find for my printouts

3. Some Washi Tape

4. Pen(s)

5. Glue sticks

If available: I also had extra fandom stickers that I put out

Instructions for patrons

1. Cut out the images from the paper.

2. Write out the word Fandom Passport in front. You can also use letters cut out from a magazine.

3. Place images where you want them. I like to have pages devoted to different fandoms.

4.  Place washi tape where you want it. This passport is yours so decorate and create however you envision it.

Thoughts: I really enjoyed doing this craft so I got into the spirit and got more washi tape for myself. It was super fun. One tip is to use a glue stick and not a lot of glue because you do not want your page of the passport to get super damp. The teens really liked it and were still working on it after the end time so I let them stay. I had this be an hour craft but it could be 1 ½ hours. You can also make it a Take and Make. I just put the washi tape in stripes on the paper and that worked. I did 30 craft kits as well as the in person craft.
