Stitch your thoughts towards a world where we respect peace, nature, animals and human beings.
What is my footprint? We make our daily choices based on our values. It depends on all of us, how do we live on this planet and take care of it. We can make a difference towards a better future and the well-being of our planet.
A footprint for the world
With small actions each one of us can influence building peace and developing democracy. Stitch your statement with the supplies you will find in your craftivism kit.
You can stitch by yourself or gather up a group of people to do some craftivism. Doing things together enables the sharing of emotions and knowledge. Attach your work on your clothes, take it to a protest or share an image of it on social media.
Skecth
Sketch your thoughts onto the felt with a pencil. You can also cut the felt to a size or shape, that is suitable to you.
Begin the work
Open up a coil of thread, thread a needle and make a knot on the other end. Start from the reverse side by threading the needle through the felt and by making stitches of appropriate length on the lines you drew earlier.
Complete your work
When you have completed the work, tie off the thread with a knot on the reverse side. You can decorate the felt with, for example, the buttons, beads and pieces of cloth you may find at your home.
Tag your work
Should you want to, you can sew a #jalanjälkeni -tag on your work.
Share to care
Take a picture of your work and share it on social media with the tags like #jalanjälkeni #rauha #peace #sunflowerforukraine #kulttuuriaktivismi
#käsityöaktivismi #craftivism. Tag on Instagram @jalanjalkeni.
