DIY Napkin Project

By Kyla Mrazek, Marketing Projects Manager, Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin & Metropolitan Chicago

Anyone throwing a party knows how much the plates, napkins and other serveware can cost. Especially if you’re doing a themed party and want to have a cute, matched set. Since I always see packs of napkins at my local Goodwill Store & Donation center, along with stamps, I thought I would combine them in this fun DIY!

Jars-a-plenty can be found at each Goodwill Store & Donation Center. From mason jars, to canning jars and everything in between, there’s a size or jar for all your needs. I wanted to give some jars a fun upgrade to use in my son’s nursery.

Easter Fun – Silk Tie Egg Dyeing

By Jessica Schoner - Interactive Media Coordinator, Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin & Metropolitan Chicago

We love craft projects that are unique, fun and allow the kids to get involved. This one meets all those requirements. And it’s super simple, which makes it a must-have! Goodwill is a great place to find colorful arrays of men’s ties, but save the suited look for later, because we’re transferring the tie to your Easter eggs!
