Sewing For Charity Projects
Practical, easy crafts with fabric scraps and corks?
I’m making crafts to raise money for charity at the school Christmas fair, but me and my partner have very little money to buy new stuff with, so we’re using scraps of fabric and other things that we have lying around to make things. The fabric pieces are mainly remnants from sewing projects and vary in size, some are tiny and some are quite large (the smallest being something like 5×5cm, the largest about 40×40cm). We also have A LOT of old corks, some craft papers, paints, beads, and cardboard etc. We need to make practical things which will appeal to middle school/high school girls. And the only equipment we have is a sewing machine and PVA glue. I was thinking of making fabric bookmarks by zigzag stitching fabric around a strip of cardboard, but I tried it out and it didn’t look very good. So any ideas would be very much appreciated!
you could make bracelets. i’m not sure if it would look dumb, but elastic is cheap, so you can buy some elastic, cover the corks with fabric, punch holes in them using wire (a wire hanger?) and put the elastic through them. it could look cool…maybe?
