Why not make items out of things you already own?! Do you realize how much we all throw away in our households every year? It’s astounding! Let’s do something about that; and while you’re at it, feel free to feel supreme gratification because you are being completely resourceful and green!
There are many free websites out there that show you how to make items out of just about anything. Before you throw away those clothes you can snip off all the buttons and then cut the fabric into 12×12 inch squares for later use. Sleeves are one of the most versatile things to save as there are many uses for recreating with them.
Craftsy.com is one of the best sites that offers free patterns to use, yet also gives you the ability to upload your own patterns to offer for sale! You can even link to your own PayPal to make some money just by sharing your patterns with a crafty audience. This site offers so many ideas so go ahead….sign up and get busy! What are you waiting for?
If you wish to make your own creations and sell them to the public, the following links may also be for you. We don’t have any “favorites” per say but we have checked all of these links thoroughly for safety. To find the site that’s right for you, please just check each of them out to see what they offer, and be sure to look for any possible fees and reviews.
If you know of any other well-known websites you would like us to add to this list, please send them to info@michaelsdreamfoundation.org and mention Busy Bee’s Bits & Pieces.
Check out this perfect gift for anyone staying in a hospital. It will not slip or slide and its just knitting or crocheting a square and 9 circles, with a little trim in a different color to outline the grid and the O & X’s. Just think how many of these you could make and give to your local hospitals. Just perfect!
Now that we have given you some great inspiration to get started, why NOT get started making some money to help Michael’s Dream Foundation? We would LOVE to be able to show the world what YOU are doing to help Michael’s Dream come true!
