Project Show You Care

What is Project Show You Care™?  
Project Show You Care™ is a series on Craft Klatch® geared toward coming up with practical, useful, basic need projects that you can make to donate.  A small gesture or a helping hand can make a world of difference for someone in need. 

The tutorials and projects I have here are ones that you can craft and donate.  The library will expand over time and will include scarves, blankets, mittens, hats and whatever else we eventually come up with!  They will include no sew projects, sewing projects and maybe we’ll even tackle some knitting!  Don’t worry, there will be projects for all skill levels, so everyone can get involved!

You can certainly make the projects for yourself, or for your loved ones, in fact we encourage it!  Hopefully while you are at it, you can also make one for someone in need.

Our mission is simple:  Craft a little love to share.


The Crafting Dilemma
As crafters and DIYers, we like to make stuff….okay….we LOVE to make stuff.  We love to make stuff for ourselves, we love to make stuff to give as gifts and maybe we even sell some of that stuff.  In the end, it’s about the love of creating and hoping someone else appreciates our efforts.

At the same time, the trouble with crafting is we LOVE to make stuff and sometimes too much stuff.  Project Show You Care™ is an outlet for your creativity and craftiness and in the process you can help someone who really needs it.  Think of it as crafting with a purpose!  


Worldwide Need
Since we are all located around the world and there is need worldwide, you can choose to donate the item(s) locally to a charity of your choice, or you can send it to me and I will make sure it gets donated to an appropriate charity.

I have created a label.  It would be nice if it were enclosed with every item donated.  You can print it out and then fill in your first name and your last initial.  Then, you can add the state and/or country you are from.  That way, the recipient feels a connection.  Feels that someone truly cares.



Charities
I have been in touch with a number of organizations and discussed their needs. 
Here is a list of organizations we will be working with:

Be sure to come back regularly for more projects!  


Get the Word Out
Over time, maybe some of your favorite YouTubers and bloggers will also take part and share their version of the projects, or come up with their own.  Be sure to spread the word and let them know!

Share this with your friends, family and co-workers, so they too can make a difference and Craft A Little Love To Share!
