Creating at home…

​Loving our no-sew t shirt tote! 

This makes reuse idea number 7 for creating at home.

All you need is a tshirt that is ok to cut and a pair of good scissors.

Cut out the neck a little deeper than the neckline then cut off the sleeves and your on your way! Those cuts  become your tote opening and handles! 

Cut fringe in about 3/4″ widths around the whole bottom of the tshirt- vertically. We made ours about 4″tall. Then tie one front fringe to one back fringe all the way across the bottom of the shirt and you’ve got a groovy bag! You can do fancy knotting or add beads or other embellishments to bling it up too.

Now, let’s go shopping!

Staffie!

When a large cardboard frame is donated, the obvious choice is to put it to use for a CReATE staff picture. 

We make a great team ♡

Weekly WOW 

Logan and his mom Donna are a dynamic creative duo who know how to bring beloved animated characters to life, isn’t that  magic! They made a great mama and son pair gathering materials in just the right textures, just the right sizes. They collaborated, shared ideas and work through the snags they encountered and in the end made these two silly characters, Tails and Sonic. Hurray!

​Creating at home idea 6.

Make wrapping paper out of magazine or newspaper pages for something fun when gift giving. The paper can be jazzed up with a little ribbon, yarn, washi tape or even a sprig from your garden. It’s a bonus to watch your gift recipient trying to figure out what it is before unwrapping too!
