Explore Norse Mythology

Let's talk about the gods and goddesses of Norse mythology. Some of you may be familiar with names and places you will hear, like Thor, Odin, Asgard  and the Bifrost from the comic and movie Thor. However, Thor, Odin and the Gods of Asgard were around thousands of years before Marvel Comics.

Directions

Note: Craft packets of these cut outs will be available at the July 27 Monday Market at the library.

Thor’s Helmet  

  1. Cut out the pieces to include headband, two pieces of yarn, two wings and nose guard. If you are making the cut outs yourself use markers or colored construction to make the gray part of the wing, and use a black marker to draw the feathering. With a marker or colored construction paper make the V symbol on the nose guard.
  2. At each end of your head band tie on your yarn through the hole punches.
  3. Glue or tape the nose guard to the center of your headband.
  4. Tape or glue the wings to each end of your headband.

Loki’s Helmet

  2. At each end of your head band tie on your yarn through the hole punches.
  3. Glue or tape the nose guard to the center of your headband.
  4. Flip headband over to the backside, cut a slit on either side of nose guard long enough for the end of your horns to slide into.
  5. Take your horns and fold in the ends, about an inch, slide them into the slits where the fold is and tape down.
  6. You can add more tape to the other sides of horns to make them more stable.
