Keep me crafts

Handmade, novelty crafts made to last and to reduce waste I enjoy making crafts that are creative, fun and practical.

My name is Adi and I set up 'Keep me crafts' because am passionate about creating zero-waste crafts that will last and form new cultural traditions. I began a zero waste journey in 2018, starting with small swaps to reduce single use plastic, from shampoo bars and cloth wrapping paper to switching to a plant-based diet in 2019. In 2021 I designed, created and tested my novelty Christmas Crackers, inspired by my two young children as well as my love of art.

Some of my favourite artwork by my daughter aged 7&8, using ink, paints, felts, charcoal, etc. with influences by oriental art, aboriginal art, Matisse cut outs and more.

Upcycled jumper I turned into a Christmas Jumper for my brother-in-law last year for a Christmas party! Easy to remove in the new year by unstitching the thread to use again as a regular jumper and the motifs kept for a future Christmas!

Making an eco pledge for Lent – All Saints Wokingham 04/02/2023

Are you thinking about what to give up for lent this year? Why not make an eco pledge? I have enjoyed produced these materials for All Saints church this year as food for thought / ideas for lent!

Making an eco pledge for Lent – All Saints Wokingham This Lent we are encouraging everyone to make an eco pledge, something that you will pledge to do during Lent, which will benefit Planet Earth. Perhaps it could be around food: cut down on the amount of meat you consume, or work to eat food that is LOAF (Locally grown, Organic, Animal-friendly, Fair...

My zero waste journey – All Saints Wokingham 04/02/2023

My Zero Waste journey has been published in this months newsletter of All Saints church and on their website, take a read if you are interested! www.allsaintswokingham.org.uk/my-zero-waste-journey/

My zero waste journey – All Saints Wokingham My zero waste journey began around five years ago at the beginning of 2018, when I was thinking about what to give up for Lent. For the first time in a while, I was thinking seriously about the meaning of Lent and what would be a meaningful sacrifice that required real self-discipline.

I made this a few years ago for my little ones! I would make a lot of improvements if I made it again, but it has become part of our Christmas tradition! Putting it away now for another year.

I switched to Naked Sprout several months ago now from another leading susainable toilet paper company! I don't usually read the facts on boxes, but these ones gave me some good feelings. The brown colour of the toilet paper has taken some getting used to, but all in all I think that's an adjustment worthwhile given all the other things in its favour plastic

Novelty, handmade, reusable Christmas Crackers to keep year after year. Each cracker comes with an adjustable hat and printable jokes.

Local pickup or drop off only (Wokingham) - £10.00 each. Message to order.

Made from felt, these Christmas Crackers are durable and washable at 30 degrees, with a Velcro pull which has the snap effect but is pet friendly.

We produce 30% more waste during Christmas in the UK, including plastic packaging that weighs as much as 5 Statue of Liberty’s. These Christmas Crackers are designed to help reduce single-use plastic – but also save you time and money shopping around in future years.

As a parent of young children, I wanted these Christmas Crackers to be fun, practical and to become part of our family tradition, which we can use again each year. I’m hoping it is a family tradition I can now share with you.

The Christmas Crackers are available individually or as a set, enabling you to purchase the number you need and to mix and match your favourite designs.

Features:
• Designed and handmade in the UK
• Durable - use year after year
• Sustainable – plastic-free packaging and reduce overall festive waste
• Velcro pull – retains elements of a traditional cracker, but with pet-friendly snap effect
• Washable – up to 30 degrees
• Long term time and cost saving - avoid shopping around in future years
• Includes adjustable hat to fit children and adults
• Free printable jokes available via an email PDF
• Choice of 6 novelty designs

Please note: Each cracker and hat is handmade, so there will be slight variations between items.

Fit: Each hat is 25 inches long and adjustable to fit children and adults, however some crumpling will form at the back of the hat for younger children whilst in use. For this reason, a smaller, child size is available, if desired. Not suitable for under 3s.

Safety disclaimer: Children should be supervised when using the hat to ensure appropriate use.
