Tis the season to reuse! What better way to cut down on expenses this holiday season than to make some of your own presents? That’s where we come in. For the first three Wednesdays in December, we will be holding Handmade Gift Workshops. Each week we will make a different craft item from reused materials. The item of the week will be announced here and in our e-newsie. A small fee will apply to cover the materials we use, and we’ll announce the fee each week too. Of course anyone who’s been to the store knows we have lots of crazy & unique items that can be turned into something new and magical….and if you have any ideas of cool crafts or ways to reuse, go ahead and post them here!!

We’re starting with a pretty easy craft. For our first workshop on December 2nd, we will be making stockings and heating pads from recycled sweaters, shirts, and socks. The fee will be $5 to cover fabrics, rice and beans for inside the heating pads, and tools. The workshop will be from 4-5 pm at 158 Eaton St.

Stay posted for more do-it-yourself holiday ideas, and we hope to see you at one of our winter workshops!!!
