Cutting up for an audience!

February 2, 2018 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Added this pin to my “Increase the Value of Your Donations”  Pinterest board, which is generally aimed at NFP thrifts, as a way to use up unsaleable jeans and create something new. But also… this would make an AWESOME demo for a resale shopkeeper to do at a garden club meeting, during an expo booth event (gathering lots of onlookers!!), or even a GNO (Girls’ Night Out) activity.

Be sure to have giveaway seed packets… with “thanks for helping MyShop flourish” or “making the world a prettier place with MyShop” stickers on ’em!

For GNO… you could add a set of nice gardening tools as a door prize or raffle, with the proceeds to an appropriate charity.

Your audience not a gardening group? Make it a cooking apron to “spice up your life”!

Hey… why not make a video or even a simple slide show to use on your website, blog, and social media?

Thanks to Glad Rags Boutique, who pointed TGtbT to this re-craft!
