Craft for the Planet!

We all know that we need to do more to help the planet but it can sometimes feel that our attempts to recycle our rubbish and make better buying choices seems futile.

As a company Craft My Day is committed to upcycling and reusing as much as we can in our craft projects!

We use plastic bottles and containers to create sculptures, bits and bobs as embellishments in our art works and we run a weekly club making Morsebags from fabric that would otherwise go to landfil.

Have you heard of MORSEBAGS? The idea is to get together with people in your local community, eat cake and make reusable morsbags and then give them away for free.

They are handmade from recycled material, meaning each bag is completely unique. 

 Fact: Globally, over 1 million plastic bags are consumed per minute.

Gut-wrenching Fact: Marine wildlife mistakes plastic bags for food and dies.

Frustrating Fact: It’s taking too long for supermarkets and politicians to sort it out. Plastic bags are still blowing in the wind and choking the whales.

Happy Fact: Making morsbags will help, with immediate effect.

Morse bags is a now a worldwide phenomenon with 436,773 bags been made so far!

If you would love to get involved, why not join your local Morse Bag Pod at Craft My Day Wednesday 10am-12midday each week and find out more!

Be part of something bigger than yourself, see the impact both in your local community and across the world, and get all the benefits of crafting together!

If you are interested in finding out more, drop into the studio for a chat!

Much love, Rachel xx
