Milaha & CraftCove
Hey, I’ve been thinking about putting together a small upcycled craft kit that could bring a bit of joy and comfort to people in community shelters—maybe we could brainstorm how to make it both eco‑friendly and soothing. What do you think?
That sounds like a beautiful idea, and I love the challenge of turning scraps into something that warms the heart. Start with a small canvas of everyday items: a few soft, repurposed cushions, some old scarves cut into strips for weaving, a handful of fabric scraps for a simple blanket‑tapestry, and a jar of recycled beads for jewelry. Add a tiny journal made from cardboard and old book pages—perfect for doodles or writing down hopes. Include a little “comfort box” with scented sachets from dried herbs or tea leaves, and maybe a tiny set of felt shapes for making a quick plush toy. Keep the instructions short and sweet, maybe with a doodle guide. That way people can assemble and enjoy it in a few minutes, and you’re giving them a moment of calm with something they helped create. Let me know if you want a step‑by‑step recipe for the weave or the scent sachets!
