Reduce Reuse Repair

December 13, 2022
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Risa Commons, S40 (Danforth Campus)

This event will show you how you can increase the lifespan of your belongings, encourage you to engage a creative reuse mindset, and help build community through skill sharing. Bring your old/broken stuff or just yourself; leave with new repair and creative reuse skills!

Free hot chocolate for all attendees.

Activities include:

  • Mending clothes
  • Fixing broken jewelry
  • DIY crafts from “waste” items
    • Sensory blankets from old t-shirts and fabric that we will donate to senior citizen support organizations
    • Self-watering pots made from old soda bottles
    • Make your own festive decorations
  • Tech recycling in partnership with Student Technology Services (STS)

Bring any lonely buttons, snaps, tassels, pompoms, or other fun decorative elements that can be used for some of the crafts!

Destress during finals, hang out with friends, and do something good for the earth while you’re at it!

If you have questions, please contact Aamna Anwer.
