Change the World at Christmas!

This one's for all you green crafters out there!

Sue Ryder Care are organising a fundraising competition with Folksy, an online crafts community.

Read all about it here:

http://blog.folksy.com/2009/10/14/upcycle-christmas-competition

The competition involves taking old items from a charity shop and upcycling them into something saleable. These upcycled items will be displayed and sold in an online auction between 7 and 13 December at Folksy.com.

Would-be designers and crafters can download a voucher from the Folksy website which entitles them to 5 pieces of stock from Sue Ryder Care shops across the country. They then have two months to make the item and post photos of it on the Folksy website.

The winners will have their work displayed in the flagship Sue Ryder Care shop in Camden.

Good luck!
