CREATIVE CRAFTING CORNER OF RIPPSTOCK
Peace, love and friendship bracelets
Join the team to make this creative corner of Rippstock come to life. Kids can come and make their own friendship bracelets, peace headbands and necklaces, and we’ll also have feather ties we can plait into their hair.
Tie dye t-shirts
Tie dye swirls is synonymous with the Rippstock era. Kids can bring their own white Ts, order one in advance, or buy it on the day, and choose their colours to dip their own Ts. We’d love volunteers who don’t mind getting their hands multi-coloured! Is there anyone with any experience in setting up tie dye?
Heat press t-shirt prints
We are being generously loaned the use of a heat press printer for the day and kids can choose from a selection of Rippstock themed images and decide where they would like them placed on their T (again they can byo, pre-order or buy). We are looking for some heat press drivers to help bring these T-shirts to life.
DONATION OF MATERIALS
The creative crafting corner is seeking any donations of:
- White T-shirts
- Beads and beading equipment
- Hair feathers
- Tie dye paints
Please contact Anneli if you have any questions or ideas on 0413 589 050 or anneli@eloquence.com.au.
SPOOKY CUPCAKES FOR HALLOWEEN
With Halloween just around the corner, we thought you might need some spooky treats to protect yourself from monsters!
This is why we’re organizing a new Cupcake Raffle.
As usual, tickets will cost 50 cents each and all the money will go to the great Year 6 Legacy Project. They will be drawn in the morning on Friday the 1st of November and the Monster and Spider cupcakes will be delivered to the winner at assembly that day.
Don't be scared, they will be delicious!
