Makers For Maui 2.0

Help me give my students the supplies they need to create greeting cards, and other items such as decorated journals for our fundraiser to raise money for the Maui Fire Victims.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chinen's classroom raised $180

My Project

Our original project "Makers For Maui" provided us amazing tools and materials to begin crafting items for our culminating end of year entrepreneurship project. This year, my students will be selling all the handmade crafted items they created with those resources.

We had such great success with a mini-sale of Mother's Day cards, we need to replenish our supplies for the big end of year sale in which all proceeds will be donated to the Maui fire victims.

The card stock and envelopes will provide the bases we need to create cards for all occasions. The laminate sheets will help protect the hand crafted journals the students are creating, and the color pencils and gamsol will allow the students to add beautiful touches to their cards, while learning new art techniques. The heat transfer vinyl will be used on the cards and bags previously obtained through donors choose and the key chains will be sublimated by making use of the previously obtained sublimation paper and ink.

The best part is the students are working together for a common cause, figuring out their strengths and having tons of fun.
