Box labeled for collecting crisp packets to help save lives.

Stage 1: collection to make items

 If your school / organisation would like to get involved and make an item.

 You can start by collecting your crisp packets  place a  collection box in your school or place of work. 

You can use our  orange support logo. Either print off our posters or make your own creative design 

And stick it on a box .
It’s great to ask for cut open and washed packets.

Stage 2: strips and grids to make your item then add plastic

Once your packets are washed cleaned and open landscape way please see  video.

By using your baking paper and an iron or tape them together if you need  an adult to fuse them after for you. Start to fuse your washed packets into strips of four then your 1x4 strips Into grids.

 for a blanket three grids joined together. Now have a large grid of 48 regular size crisp packets you can add a few more strips of 1x four on if you feel your blanket needs to be bigger.
now it’s time for your plastic.

Videos, Diagrams & Instructions

  • Scroll down to find all our videos, written instructions and diagrams on how to make our items. There are more  instructions under CPP instructions link. The easiest items to make are our survival sheets.

Sourcing Your Plastic

  • This may be the hardest part. We are very lucky that Hastings sofa company donate all their landfill plastic to us. You can ask in your local supermarket for the plastic that covers the large pallets of kitchen or toilet roll. Clothes stores for the plastic that they receive their clothes deliveries covered in. The plastic should be the thickness of a bread bag, too thick it will not fuse. If its biodegradable it will melt. If you get really stuck we may be abler to help.
