Top Breast Cancer Crafts Fundraising Ideas

As you know, Breast Cancer awareness is a charity that is close to my heart. I have been fundraising for the charity for years, so when I saw these Breast cancer crafts I thought it would not only give me the opportunity to bring the charity to your attention, but also give some ideas to those who need fundraising ideas.

For the Cross Stitchers

This Item is Hand Stitched with Love on a Light Pink Plastic Canvas. Cross Stitched in a Rose Coloured Yarn is the words “I AM STRONG”, in between a Pink Cancer Ribbon stitched in half cross stitch with different shades of pink to give a 3 Dimensional Shadowing Effect. The rest of the Canvas is half cross stitched with white yarn to accentuate the pink, and to complete it is rimmed with a pastel pink edging with crocheted yarn for hanging.

I love this little cross stitch plaque from Jessica.    I think this could quite easily be adapted to make a fantastic keyring.

For the Knitters







You might expect your granny to knit you a woolly jumper, but one pensioner has been defying expectations by using her needles to craft amazing knitted breasts.

Coral Charles-Dunne, 91, from Birmingham, has knitted dozens of the unusual educational tools as part of a project to inform expectant and new mums about breastfeeding.

She says spends about two hours creating each of the woolly boobs and makes them in a range of sizes, knitting for up to six hours per day.





Show you care with a fun and easy craft that you can display for all passers-by to see: a beautiful pink wreath! For this amazing tutorial pop along to Sccmag


Taking a few minutes to do a breast self-exam a minimum of once a month can make a lifetime of difference. Nearly 70% of all breast cancers are found through self-exams and with early detection the 5-year survival rate is 98%. If you find a lump, schedule an appointment with your doctor, but don't panic—8 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous. For additional peace of mind, call your doctor whenever you have concerns.

DIY Milk Paint Recipe

After the outstanding results I received with the DIY CHALK PAINT , if you read my sideboard , rocking chair or toy chest posts, you will have seen the amazing results that the chalk paint made. So this time  i thought i would test out a milk paint recipe What you need: 4 parts milk powder 1 part bicarbonate of soda 1 part pigment 6 parts cold water Patience  The method is pretty simply. All you need to do is mix the milk, bicarbonate of soda and pigment powders together then add the water and stir well. Leave the paint to sit for 1 hour then stir again and paint. (I know, i know you probably will want to get painting you project, but if you can wait – you will get better outcomes - try watching an episode of  Once Upon a Time... oh lord, my sister and i are addicted) The milk paint dries quickly so once you’ve started using it and be careful not go back over areas, as you can wipe the paint back off. Even though it is touch dry in about 15 min...
