Craft Materials Donations Accepted
Part of our goal in forming CRAFT is to use our newfound skills to create a better community around us. There are several options we will be exploring this semester including:
Donating completed items to various campus organizations for sale in silent auctions (for instance Campus Ministry has a silent auction in December)
Selling completed items in our own silent auction in order to raise money for the cause of our choice.
Donating completed items directly to needy individuals in the community.
Creating a group art project to be displayed and solicit donations, again for the cause of our choice.
Teaching our newfound skills to younger community members in need of mentorship.
If you have suggestions for other ways we can use our CRAFT skills to craft a better world... please leave a comment! And remember: this are just ideas and will need to receive both club and university approval before we can act on these ideas.
Craft supplies can be expensive: If we can get donations either from local crafters with leftover materials or by obtaining sponsorship from a local company, we will have more freedom to create. If you have extra craft supplies you can donate (or loan!) to our club, please let us know!
We need the following items:
Scissors (able to cut yarn and fabric) - at least 5 pairs
Yarn - any colors, any style
Knitting Needles - probably slightly larger sizes are best (at least size 6)
Crochet Hooks
Fabric Remnants or Scraps
Beads (with fairly large holes, for use in macrame)
Balls of Hemp (for use in macrame)
If you'd like to make a donation, please contact Moira.
