Cheap Craft on a budget of $0 / ManCraft
Oct 2, 2009 at 17:37 Spent a week camping on Moreton Island - big outdoor kitchen shaded by casuarinas, the Blue Lagoon instead of taking a shower, the roar of the surf as you drift off to sleep... Yep, got pretty good at blocking out the sound of the 70 school students we took with us! Every year I organise craft activities for our church camp. This year was particularly primitive - no electricity, (what! no power tools!), no running water (bye-bye screenprinting) and worst of all no budget.
Tie-tanic - handcrafted on Moreton IslandOur recession crafts were made from donated scrap fabrics that were sewn into props for our "formal" dinner night on the beach. I thought the boys would enjoy a handsome 80's print tie to wear over their T-shirts and boardies. And for the girls, who wouldn't want an an attractive corsage!
