Craft Projects For Susan G Komen

Make a homemade ribbon.


Each day, many women battle breast cancer. One of the main supporters who helps fight against cancer and encourage finding research for the cure is the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Each year, thousands of men, women and children march for three days together, covering 20 miles to support the battle against breast cancer. The universal color to symbolize the fight against breast cancer is pink, which is often found in the form of a T-shirt or small, pink ribbon. Support the fight against breast cancer by making a Susan G. Komen craft project.


Quilting Projects


One of the oldest forms of crafting is quilting. Through the years, many organizations have used quilts to send a message of love, hope and unity. Get together with a group of individuals who share an interest in making craft projects for Susan G. Komen and the fight for breast cancer. Gather one quilt square each from interested parties to sew together into a quilt. Quilt squares should include symbols of hope and luck. Give the quilt to someone who is fighting breast cancer or auction it off and donate the money to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.


Crafts Using Pink Ribbon


Pink ribbons are the universal symbol not only for the fight against breast cancer, but also for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Use pink ribbons in any craft project for Susan G. Komen to spread awareness. Make earrings out of two pink ribbons, or make pins or broaches. Another way to utilize the pink ribbon is to develop a T-shirt symbol using it. Incorporating the pink ribbon guarantees that your message will be conveyed.


Projects Using Photos


Use photos of the Susan G. Komen walk to make a scrapbook or photo album. Make a scrapbook or photo album of the walkers as a token of what can be accomplished together. Realizing your full potential is one of the benefits of this craft project; contributing to the preservation of cherished memories is another.


Knitting Projects


Knit pink scarves, hats, gloves and other clothing items to represent Susan G. Komen; sell the items, with a percentage of the money being donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Donate warm hats and scarves to women battling breast cancer as a rewarding craft project for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
