Re: Crafting ideas
Hope the below ideas work. I had some help from ChatGPT. 
1. Marble Critters
Marbles + googly eyes + pipe cleaners + pom poms
Turn marbles into bugs, frogs, or tiny aliens
Add felt wings or feathers for flair
2. Pride Keychains
Keyrings + beads + letter beads + pride stickers/fabric
Simple stringing activity, great conversation starter
3. Decorated Bookmarks
Bookmark paper + markers + stickers + glitter glue
Punch hole, tie twine or fishing line with a bead
4. Mini Affirmation Cards
Small paper + markers + heart stickers
Write affirmations or kind notes to trade or take home
5. Popsicle Stick Art
Popsicle sticks + paint/markers
Make mini signs, quotes, or abstract color patterns
Messy / Playful Crafts
6. Cotton Ball & Marble Painting
Use cotton balls or marbles to dab/roll paint
Great abstract art or galaxy-style backgrounds
7. Glitter Collage Night
Foam paper + glitter + tissue paper + stickers
Theme ideas: “Joy,” “Chaos,” “Pride,” “Winter throwback”
8. Bauble Worlds
Empty Christmas baubles + stuffing + glitter + tiny paper shapes
Create snow globes, pride ornaments, or memory baubles
9. Felt Faces
Felt + googly eyes + feathers + yarn/thread
Make expressive faces, monsters, or mascots
Slightly More Involved / Sit-and-Chill
10. Burlap Art Panels
6x6 burlap + paint + stencils (cookie cutters!)
Cool rustic wall art or table decor
11. Styrofoam Cone Creatures
Cones + felt + pom poms + pipe cleaners
Trees, gnomes, monsters, or pride totems
12. Playing Card Remix
Playing cards + markers + collage materials
Redesign the deck: alter egos, pride royalty, fantasy suits
13. Mini Wreaths
Winter wreath kit + feathers + pride stickers/fabric
Seasonal-but-make-it-you
Pride-Forward Ideas
14. Pride Pins or Tags
Foam paper + pride stickers + pushpins (for bags/jackets)
Or tie to keyrings instead
15. Fabric Affirmation Flags
Pride fabric scraps + markers
Write words like belong, joy, chosen family
Low-Pressure Group Activities
16. Collaborative Sketchbook
One sketchbook passed around
Each person adds one thing per page
17. Mystery Bag Challenge
Pre-fill baggies with random materials
10–15 min to make anything
18. “Bad Art” Table
Zero rules. The uglier, the better.
Often becomes the most fun spot

Re: Crafting ideas
I posted the wrong list. I posted what ideas I had found instead of the actual materials list. Editing now to show the right list

Crafting ideas
I, a non-crafty person, have to host a monthly craft night. The chair of the committee wants me to use the items I already have before ordering more. I have the following craft supplies. Does anyone have ideas of what I can use these items to do? Probably nothing that will take a million years to do or is too complex, but it doesn't have to be a two-minute craft either. Normally adults come to craft night but kids ARE welcome. Thanks in advance!
