My Project

Hey there! In my middle school art classes in New Jersey, I've got this awesome bunch of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who bring so much creativity to the table. The snag?

Our scissors are kind of on their last legs – some handles even decided to take an early retirement.

So, I'm rallying for new scissors and a slick wooden caddy to keep things organized.

Imagine the difference these snazzy tools can make in our art class! No more struggling with broken handles or weak blades, just smooth creativity flowing. Let's create an artsy haven where these fantastic kids can explore their talents with safe hassle-free scissors! Ready to jazz up the art room with your support!
