Let’s rethink our metals! This sweet steamer basket owl was one of many awesome owl creations at our Pinspired Night last night and it serves as another reminder that reuse has boundless benefits.
An cast off steamer basket got an updo to become a friendly garden owl who will no doubt see many outdoor seasons to come.
We have wonderful resources for our needs and pleasures right under our noses every day. They may just require an open minded view of them once their first task is done.
Our Glitter, Glue and Sparkle Fashion Show made the Acorn paper! What a fun treat. Thank you Michael Coons and @acornnewspaper for sharing our community event!
Thanks to Ascension Lutheran School K-2nd grade classes for welcoming CReATE to their campus today for hands-on project fun with an emphasis on new life. They were awesome creators who met their creative goals to make everything from eggs in nests to insects to blossoming trees! Way to go learners!
Creativity is in the eye of the beholder and that’s exactly how these kids brought their “blueprint drawing” to life. Their drawings have them a self guide instruction manual as one student put it, to help them achieve their goals and compete their projects in a stress free, self motivated way. Now that’s learning fun!
Brody had a great idea to visit CReATE STUDIO for materials for a school project he is doing at home.
We had a great idea to offer him a CReATE ON YOUR CAMPUS Fill-A-Bag that he could use to collect the materials he would need.
We ask for a $10 donation that goes right to our C.O.Y.C program which gets campuses set up with easy reuse systems for their campus materials, establishing endless possibilities for creativity in project based learning or in an open-ended way.
This way he can work at his pace at home. Maybe he spends an afternoon working or, a few snippets of time over the weekend. He took a bit of CReATE with him and has it at his disposal and we like that our bag is ready when his creativity is ready.
What a win!

Lest start with tins, we have a batch of tins we are readying for reuse at the studio for creative purposes but tins can be great for practical reuse too. Reuse them to hold a mini sewing kit, first aide kit for a purse, backpack or briefcase or to hold little mementos. The have way more life in them than just their durable package. Let us know how you reuse yours!
CReATE is as much a place for connection as it is for creation. I am getting some wow worthy information about color from my friend Isaac.
One of the best things I have learned at CReATE is that kids, all kids, all ages are continuously briming with thoughts, curiosities and ideas. Its so fun to observe this process unfold in them through their hands on ways.
I think that’s the sum of creativity for all of us. Creativity flow.
