We are also hoping to stitch some fleece crate snugglies for local animal shelters. It's great sharing our crafts with those furry friends in need!

Koala mittens service project
Today my Needle & Thread clubbers began stitching pairs of cotton mittens for koalas whose paws were injured during recent wildfires in Australia. We found the pattern online (http://www.ifaw.org/sites/default/files/default/KOALA-MITTENS-PATTERN-A4.pdf) and used some 100% cotton bandanas for the soft cloth. The group collecting these mittens is also looking for handmade pouches for orphaned joeys - I will need a sewing machine for that one!

This is so awesome!! From the pictures I love the color choices as well. We don't live in Australia but could we try making them and sending them as well?
ReplyDeleteWe are not in Australia either Stacie, just planning on mailing them over :)
DeleteHi. I am curious about your CREATE sign in your classroom. What materials did you put on each letter? I love the idea and I am trying to decide what I want to use. A close up picture would be great :) (I realize this is not the correct post but I couldn't figure out how to post on the 'Art Room Tour' page) Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Lucy! First, I bought the paper mache letters from JoAnns one at a time so I could use my weekly half price coupon. Then I covered each letter with things we recycled in the art room - one has orange glue caps, one has felt pieces left over from a project, one has "too short to sharpen" pencils, which were collected over the year in a container near the sharpener, two letters have marker caps and the final letter is covered with yarn. I hope that helps!
