1. Create the Product

Start with an idea—like jewelry, character pins, mini sculptures, or a cool t-shirt design—and bring it to life using your favorite materials and tools. You’ll sketch it, test colors, and build a final version ready to share.

Examples of what you can make:

• Stickers & vinyl decals (cut with Cricut)

• Heat-transfer designs for tote bags or t-shirts

• Needle-felted mini figures or plushies

• Air-dry clay sculptures or jewelry

• Limited-run drawings (signed, numbered, and framed)

• Paintings or illustrations (for framing or gifting)

• Shrink dink charms, keychains & pins

• Custom buttons, magnets, or keychains

2. Record & Edit the Process

Students will document their creative journey by:

• Using overhead cameras or phones to record their work

• Learning basic editing tools (CapCut, iMovie) to make fun time-lapse and behind-the-scenes clips

• Creating a short promo video showing their process, product, and personality

• Collaborating as a group to make a class video that captures all the creativity, teamwork, and fun

This teaches not just how to make—but how to show what you made in a professional, exciting way.

3. Package It Up

Once the product is made, we’ll make it look amazing by designing:

• A small box, tag, or backing card

• A simple logo, and drawn or on procreate

• Add special touches like thank-you cards, tissue, tape, or sticker seals

• Create description cards and name your business

This teaches how packaging helps tell the story of your product and makes it ready to give or sell.

4. Market & Share

• Take clear product photos

• Write a one-line mission for your idea

• Practice a 30-second pitch to explain what you made, why, and who it’s for

• Wrap up the week with a fun event where friends and family can explore each student’s setup
