From Old To New💥

Join us in celebrating🎊 this amazing achievement from our talented superstar from our creative craft workshop 🤩 and get ready to be inspired 💃

This incredibly talented individual took an old, worn-out slipper 👣 and transformed it into a brand new, functional work of art! 🎨

But what makes this story even more special is the love and sentimental value behind it. Here's what our superstar has to say👇

"Good day everyone 🌺🌸🌼🌻 I would like to share my craft that I made out of old slipper! (my slippers) There are cases that u don’t like to let go your favourite stuff . I have a pair of orthopedic slipper that my daughter bought me way back in 2009, I love it ,so comfy to use anywhere I go & as much as possible I really wanted to wear it any occasion ❤️in 2015 my slipper give up😅 it was broken and I repaired it! 2024 he looks too overused and old, so what I did during my break (free time on holiday) I made a it new, new looks that I love it more than I used to. A precious gift my a daughter that I really treasured for the rest of my Life!😍❤️😂🤞

At ELREC Open Arms Project we're talking creativity, skill, and sustainability all in one! 🌿 This is what happens when imagination meets determination 💡. Our workshop participant proved that with a little bit of creativity, we can breathe new life into old, discarded items and reduce waste ♻️.
