Creators, creators,
Have you finished your current projects and done your spring cleaning and despite your vivid imagination you are having a hard time knowing what to do with all this time allotted to you?
Here are 10 activities to do at home that you can practice with what you have at home.

1. STORE

It's the right time to classify your pearls , put away your fabrics , sort your wools and make an inventory of your stock .
You will finally have a tidy and well organized workshop!

• Recycle your shoe boxes and use them as a tape dispenser for example.
  You just have to compartmentalize your box and pierce the cardboard the size of your ribbon or cord.
  For an even cleaner effect use an eyelet.
• Are you a seamstress and are starting to crumble under the fabric?
  We recommend that you measure your fabric sections , fold them and attach the measurements of your fabric with a paper clip on the visible side.
  So the next time you have a project in mind you will know which fabric from your stock you can use.
• Store your patterns in large envelopes or roll them up and wedge them in rolls of toilet paper.
• Make a pocket and pouches to store your equipment.

2. ZERO WASTE

Have you been wanting to do this for a while, but haven't had the time?
Well it's time!
Once your spring cleaning is finished you must have found things to throw away like old clothes, socks, tights, towels ...
DON'T THROW AWAY these junk will be very useful for your zero waste creations.

• Make a Tawashi sponge with what you have at home!
  The little extra is that for each photo of Tawashi posted as a comment on our facebook post, we will donate ? 1 to the Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France
• Use your old bath towels and any other fabric from a blouse, pants or T-shirt and make your cleansing wipes .
• Did you know that you can make a tot bag and a bread bag with an old shirt ?
  Cut the sleeves, they will be used as a bread bag and use the rest to make an original bag.
