Help us make creative reuse products and kits for Chicago teachers and their students.
We need people with basic sewing skills to make:
Recyclo-Owls + Recyclo-Ponies
Recyclo-Pouches
Face Masks
And basic crafting skills (cutting, glueing, melting, sewing) to make:
Social Distancing Wands
Banner Wallets
Super-Crayons
Imagination Journals
Shape Robots
Sit-Upons
Desk Carrels
and more!
We'll send you materials and instructions, and you can make things at your leisure and return them to us when you are finished. We estimate that most of our projects take between 1-3 hours to make.
Or join us for a Fabrication Volunteer session at our warehouse on Chicago's SW side. (www.creativechirx.org/book-online)
The Creative Chicago Reuse Exchange (CCRx) is creating a citywide economy based on the creative, educational, and practical reuse of surplus materials.
