AdoptA Local Student School Supply Drive Corrie’s Craft of the Month

Woven Bowls

Woven Bowls! A super easy and relaxing craft.

You can support students in county as the school year rolls around by helping those in need with their school supplies. You can join with us and Court Advocates for Children by stopping by the store and selecting a students list to fill in part or all together. Every contribution makes a difference. If you prefer you can make cash donations online at www.Jerrols.com or call / stop by.

Your donated school supplies will go to Kittitas County Foster Children, APOYO, and the Kittitas County School Districts.

Back to school is a time for children and youth to be excited about their futures and to reconnect with stability, as they look forward to seeing their friends, teachers, and staff, and return to their extra-curricular activities.

The start of a new school year can be hectic for all types of families, but it is especially challenging for children in the child welfare system. For children who grapple with the trauma of being removed from their homes and their social-emotional well-being, or the loss of family members, the work of a CourtAppointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer continues to be essential now more than ever.

It’s no secret that the more prepared a child is for the new school year, the better they can learn and perform in school. The children and youth Court Advocates for Children serve are in need of school supplies as they transition to a new grade or new school.

We will be sending donated school supplies to Kittitas County Foster Children, APOYO, and the Kittitas County School Districts.

The drive will end Friday, August 28th.

Here's what you'll need: Paper plate

Template (at Jerrols)

Scissors

Yarn

Hole lunch (optional)

1. First cut out your template and trace it onto your paper plate. I flipped my plate upside down when I traced it, but either side works. Cut out your paper plate.

2. Bend/fold the flaps on your plate up into the shape of a bowl.

3. Pick your yarn colors (my favorite part) and put a piece of yarn in between any two flaps. Start weaving the yarn in and out of the flaps, round and round and round. If you want to change colors just tie a new color onto your yarn, snip the end off and keep going.

4. Keep weaving, changing colors if you want, until you reach the top of your bowl. My plate was curved at the top so I ended up cutting the curved part off. Tie your yarn around the last flap and cut off the end.

5. You can leave your bowl just as it is or make one last row of stitches around the top. (which is what I did) First you need to hole punch three holes into each flap. One in the middle, then one on each side. Try to evenly space them.

6. Next run your yarn through any hole on the top of your bowl and leave a little tail hanging out. Next sew around the top edge of your bowl using the holes you just punched, just like a sewing card. When you're done going all the way around tie the yarn to the tail you left from your first stitch.

There you have it. A cute/colorful bowl to use for all your treasures. Enjoy!
