My Project
This club is a drop-in place where students join each other in a common daily project. Past projects have included soap making, crochet, rock painting, tile making, and beaded jewelry. Originally, my family self-funded all projects, but the expenses have mounted as the club has expanded. This year, we will continue many of the same projects but add some more.
I will teach them how to change everyday items from drab to fab using a file cabinet I decoupaged using rub-on transfers and napkins purchased over the summer.
They will practice on shells, wood blocks, tiles, or small projects they can bring from home.
We will also create holiday ornaments and gifts for teachers, friends, and families. Our students often want to give gifts to others but lack the resources and vision. Many items will be thrifted, recycled, or purchased at Dollar Tree.
I was hoping you could help my students learn decoupage in various forms. Many of my students live in small spaces, and last year, students were interested in ways to decorate their rooms or spaces, as well as family spaces. We will continue using resources I saved and thrifted over the summer to learn to crochet, make jewelry, make candles, make soaps, and make other fun crafts I see online.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
