Do you or someone or one of your committee members know how to sew, saw, or stitch? Hold a craft making class. Choose a project that individuals can do in a short period of time and host your own “how-to” class. You can hold one class or a couple of sessions. How you structure it is up to you! Some project ideas include ornaments, birdhouses, and scrapbooking.
Prep Steps:
1. If your local high school has a woodshop class, ask the teacher if the students can design and pre-cut an item that is easy to assemble, like a birdhouse or treasure box.
2. Contact your local craft or lumber store and ask for a donation or price break on the supplies you’ll need.
3. Recruit volunteers to help bag each unassembled item.
4. Determine where and when you will hold your class.
5. Assemble and decorate a few of the items for display to get folks to sign-up.
Materials Needed:
1. Pre-cut, unassembled craft projects.
2. Registration forms.
3. Advertising material.
