Crafts4Change is a nonprofit volunteer organization whose goal is to support children both locally and internationally by engaging in creative activities. With the stifling competition in today's society, Crafts4Change aims to promote creativity and self-confidence through simple crafts. These crafts are simple in that they are fairly easy to learn but also provide children a unique way to connect with and emotionally aid others that are less fortunate.
Crafts4Change originated with a group of high school students in Rockville, MD, who wanted to give back to the community and love creative and artistic crafts.
With this blog, Crafts4Change hopes to update members on current activities, connect supporters from around the world, and spread awareness of issues that children face in our local community and globally.
At the moment, Crafts4Change is working on 3 projects:
 |
| Our SNSD T-shirt design |
1. Marketing a T-shirt of our own design for fans of the Korean pop group SNSD. Crafts4Change's mission is to promote international diversity and connection through the marketing of SNSD products. SNSD is an internationally renown pop group, allowing Crafts4Change to connect fans and supporters around the world through music. All proceeds will be donated either to an international charity, such as Red Cross or UNICEF, or used to fund crafts-making sessions in lower-income districts.
We were featured on the popular fan site Daily K-Pop News too!
We have sold over 15 shirts and have shipped the first batch to fans around the world. Thanks to everyone who has already supported our project, and through this, children in need! The next set of shirts will be ordered soon so if you're interested fill out a form on our site.

| Our tissue paper flowers--the final count of flowers should be about 200. |
2. We are nearly finished with our local project of making tissue paper flower bouquets for the Shady Grove Adventist Hospital. Students at our school and at neighboring schools in Rockville have all helped to make this project a success. We hope to be ready to donate the flowers to Shady Grove by this weekend.
3. We are working on our next SNSD product for charity based on SNSD's new album Hoot! We want to hear your ideas! To contribute your ideas and feedback fill out our survey.
That's all for our first update; we'll be back soon with more information about the charity or cause to which we'll give the proceeds of our SNSD fundraiser.
