Eco Craft Pack
Eco Craft Packs are a series of creative eco-friendly activities to make at home to enhance your space, self-care, and knowledge of the environment. Thanks to The Scottish Government's Climate Challenge Fund, we can supply and distribute these packs free of charge.
Thanks to Glasgow CAN’s Create Grant we have now been able to extend this project .

Your very own Printing - Cyanotype Invented in 1942 by Sir John Herschel, cyanotype is an early photographic process described as eco-friendly which results in rich blue colour prints. Often used to capture patterns in nature such as leaves or flowers.

Locally sourced
Using native plants to attract pollinators is important as they have evolved along with local plants that have adapted to our growing seasons and climate. There is more chance of them flourishing.
Recycled Materials
100 % recycled polyester from plastic bottles
This thread is produced from plastic drinks bottles with no fibres, no twisting, is tear-resistant, flexible, and colourfast.
Vegan
Using soy wax and not beeswax to make reusable food wraps, so it is vegan. Using the wraps will reduce the use of cling film and disposable plastic boxes!
January - New Year Edit
We started the year with some inspiring projects to keep us refreshed and active during this current lockdown. January was all about Herbal Therapy (Tea Blending and Bath Soaks), Terracotta Diffusers, Hanging Bird Feeders, and Wall Hanging or Mobile Decoration.
Each pack contains four activities and is seasonally themed. They are suitable for all ages and abilities, but some activities will require supervision for more challenging tasks.

Eco System
Energy, minerals, water, oxygen, and living things make up our ecosystem. It is important to maintain the natural balance of these five components for the ecosystem to survive
Circular Economy
All-natural ingredients don't harm the planet. Herbs are entirely compostable, so there is zero waste, and you are returning nutrients to the earth
Natural Minerals
Natural building materials have less embodied energy because they produce less waste, electricity and require fewer chemicals. They decompose better and cause much less harm to the environment
December - Festive Edit
We made our very first Craft Pack for the festive season in December. We show you how to make Winter Warmers, Garlands, Candle Making, Cards & Wrap.
Each pack contains four activities and is seasonally themed. They are suitable for all ages and abilities, but some activities will require supervision for more challenging tasks.
