Discontinued Fabric Puppets


By: Andrea Schuch
Here in the CDT showroom, our memo room often gives away discontinued fabrics. We often hear of using them for different things but never get to see the end results. The picture to the left is a great example of our discontinued fabrics at work. Jenny Nagle (sister-in-law of Faith in the memo room) uses the discontinued fabrics and trims for her art classes at the Community School of the Arts at Wheaton College. The students were so excited to be able to use the fabrics and trims; they acted as if they had treasures. The children used the puppets in a presentation to their parents and had them tell knock-knock jokes. Jenny appreciates the fact that she was able to reuse these supplies and they aren't filling up the landfills.
