Clothes pins are not just for hanging your laundry out to dry anymore. This smart elephant needed a way to get around the Serengeti plains in style.

Here’s a throwback to the old days of resourceful fun, making candy wrapper jewelry! It turns out Dum-Dum wrappers when folded just so, make a super cool accessory for your wrist!

We can’t deny the intrigue of those colorful Mardi Gras beads. Although they fair mostly in dress-up boxes around the world, they have many more potential possibilities. How about for a carousel scene? Now that’s an idea!

Gracie brought a fairy tale scene to life with odds and ends found in CReATE’s bins. What will you make?

An Idea


2011

Don’t all things begin with an idea? Many ideas pass along almost unnoticed. It takes our intention to bring them into reality. Adin had an idea, though at first glance at the material wall, he wasn’t sure how he could make it come true. Still he persisted and over a lovely afternoon with his Grandma he did it! An indian fort was created, complete with horses, Indians, a pot over a burning fire, a Medicine Man’s hut, a canoe and a rolling river.

All ideas have potential to be the great things they stem from. What will yours be today?
