Library of Things: Wilton Countless Celebrations Set
Library of Things: Wilton Countless Celebrations Set
It’s as easy as 1-2-3 to personalize any party to celebrate every special occasion. Use one pan to bake cakes shaped like letters A-Z and numbers 0-9, perfect for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, and so much more. The Countless Celebrations, letters, and numbers pan set to celebrate every special occasion. The complete set includes a 14.5 x 9-inch non-stick cake pan, featuring a grid-guide bottom, eight pan inserts, one angled cutter, and easy picture instructions. Plus, the inserts nest neatly inside the pan for convenient storage.
Staff Review & Tips
I used one brownie mix to make the letter J. My brownie was short, so I would use two boxes of whatever mix you want to use. I sprayed the rectangle pan and all the pieces I used with cooking spray. There were very mild places where the mix went past the interchangeable inserts; make sure you fit the pieces snug in place and try not to move the pan around a lot.
Tip: Use two boxes of cake mix, spray all parts you are using, and remember to clean well before returning to the library.

Library of Things: Zoie + Chloe 3-Piece Dough Press Set
Library of Things: Zoie + Chloe 3-Piece Dough Press Set
Make hand pies, dumplings, empanadas, and more with Zoie + Chloe's dough press set. The once labor-intensive process has been reduced to four simple steps: cut, fill, fold, and press to seal. These three dough presses have diameters of 4", 5" and 6". They feature a decorative crimped edge design, and the dough cutter on the back of the press cuts dough to fit the press perfectly. It is excellent for dumplings, ravioli, calzones, piroshkis, empanadas, pierogies, and pastries of all kinds. They are easy to care for and dishwasher safe.
Staff Review & Tips
Frozen dough circles can be used or rolling puff pastry about 1/16 of an inch in thickness and cut with the dough press you want to use, like in the video shown below, to make the appropriate size. Tip: Spray the inside of the crimpers with baking spray before placing the cut dough on the crimpers. Watch out for over stuffing. You can then bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees, air fry, or deep fry.

There are so many options on Pinterest and the web to find recipes to use these. I used keywords like dough press recipes, hand pies, dumplings, ravioli, calzones, piroshkis, empanadas, and pierogis to find tons of great recipes to use these for different meals. If you have an air fryer, then you can put that in your search also.
Library of Things: Artograph EZ Tracer Opaque Art Projector
Library of Things: Artograph EZ Tracer Opaque Art Projector
The EZ Tracer is an easy to use art projector for the beginning artist or art classroom. Simply place the projector on top of any art or copy and enlarge the image onto a wall or easel for tracing and coloring. Darkened room required. Copy size: 4 x 4 / 10.2cm x 10.2cm. Projection range: 2x to 10x. Create murals, paintings, signs, and banners faster and more accurately than ever.
Staff Review & Tips
The projector’s bottom has a 3 1/4 x 3 1/4″ opening, which sits over the artwork to be transferred. It is very easy to use with printed pictures taken from magazines, photos, or even fabric. The room needs to be dark, and the projector needs to be at least two feet away from your canvas, paper, or what you are transferring the picture onto.

For things to trace, you can pick pictures out of books or head over to Pinterest. Using keywords when searching Pinterest or the internet is a great place to start. Try these keywords: pictures to trace, black and white images, or coloring pages. You can use any kind of image that is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4″.
