October
is a huge month for crafts, especially because it is
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Creative & generous people all over the country
participate in races, fundraisers & events to raise
money and awareness for this wonderful cause.
Here are some
simple ideas to create adorable bracelets, key chains,
bookmarks and other crafts that will not only help you
with fundraising, but also serve as a meaningful token
of remembrance or thanks and help bring awareness to
your cause.
These items will
be quick, easy, fun, and inexpensive to make for your
Breast Cancer Awareness events & activities
THINK PINK Bracelets
Create a little card to tell the story of an honored
patient or other
message of significant meaning. Make several copies
of this card,
punch a hole in the corner of the card and tie a card
to each bracelet
or key chain with ribbon. Bag each bracelet or key chain
in a fabric
draw string pouch, or for a more economical option,
use mini zip bags
(these are sometimes preferred anyway because you can
see the
bracelet and card through the bag.)
