Crafts & Crumbs turns Business Venture

Planning Unit: Robertson County CES
Major Program: Community Engagement
Plan of Work: Creating a Stronger Community One Step at a Time
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
Crafts & Crumbs is a monthly craft class offered to community members. The class always has a "crumbs" component whether it be a Plate it Up recipe of something from Plan, Eat, Move. In June the Crafts & Crumbs class was one for rolled tulle wreaths. One of the participants took what she learned in the class one step further and decided to start her own business. The class that cost her $30.00 for the cost of materials has helped her to earn over $300.00 profit to date. Offering programs that can help community members to learn a "skill" that can profit them financially wasn't what I intended but so glad it happened that way. My next class is a rug making class and she was the first to sign up.
I have offered 11 Crafts & Crumbs classes with over 110 participants combined.
