Day 4: Power to the poor!

We're living in a recession, right? So we need to save our pennies where we can, right? Well then, we need to pick up a bargain here and there. Where better place to pick up a bargain than at a charity shop?

I know what you're thinking, charity shops are lame. Well, think again my friend! The other day I picked up a pair of (really nice) 'Bench' jeans for £10!! Amazing! Charity shops really are a great place to find great bargains, so check it out!

What's all this got to do with creativity I hear you ask? As well as picking up some fine clothing, charity shops are full of weird and wonderful bits and bobs which are just screaming out creativity...

Sculptors, get down there and see what incredible things you can find to inspire your making (for such an affordable price!) fashion divas, well, you're probably already on it! And for all you drama folk, just check out the costume possibilities. Book lovers, you'll be in heaven...

So if you want to get creative on a budget, charity shops are the way forward, plus all proceeds go to a great cause, so it really is win, win all round! The more you go the more you find...

What will you create?
