Freedom Pins.
We have donated all the items to make them and sell them for $2.00 each and
ALL the money goes to the Red Cross Relief fund."
Editor's note: I love this idea!
If anyone else would like to sell the Freedom Pins, you are granted a license
to use the directions in the site, so long as ALL the monies generated are then sent to a
bonafide charity.

sides in clear adhesive shelf paper (you can find it
in the shelf paper section}. I found various lapel pins; one with John 3:16 and another with a fish with
Jesus written inside. The pins have 2 pieces-the pin in front with a squeeze back. I found both the clear
adhesive shelf paper and the lapel pins in my local dollar store. I first covered the ribbon, then
pushed the pin through the middle of the ribbon, then through your clothing and then attaching the back of
the pin on the underside of your fabric. Your ribbons will last longer by covering it. Thank you for having
a great web-site, a place where we can find various Christian Crafts. God Bless America!!!

the Freedom Pins for $2.00 each. One half goes for their own site (which is non-profit) and the other dollar the children will send to the Red Cross. This gives them two different ways to contribute--to the Red Cross, of course, but also gives support to their country, and the pins are selling faster than the children can make them.
Thanks for a simple craft that allows our children to support patriotism!"
