Crafting for Sunshine
Put your creative hat on and make, paint, stir, or sew for Rays of Sunshine by fundraising through homemade crafts.
Hand-stitched masks
- Masks are an easy craft to make, and popular to buy. They can be patterned, themed or you can have one for every day of the week.
Homemade jewellery
- Homemade bracelets, necklaces and earrings make the perfect gift, and are very popular at fundraising craft sales. If you’re an expert in jewellery making, why not host a class? Get people together either virtually or as a small group, share your skills with friends and family, and ask for a donation to Rays of Sunshine.
Knitted/crocheted toys
- Teddies, Easter chicks, simple items of clothing and blankets are all beautiful and popular items to make and sell.
Gift hampers
- You can fill these with homemade crafts or even ask local businesses to donate items.
Bath products
- From homemade soaps to candles, bath products always go down a treat at craft fairs or workshops.
Jams, chutneys and preserves
- Got a glut of fruit? Why not make a big batch of jam or chutney to safely sell to friends and neighbours?
Hand-sewn accessories
- Think personalised tote bags, cushions, lavender bags, and much more.
