I’m sure that as creators — whether you’re a designer, a craftsman, a musician, or anyone working creatively — you’re familiar with the situation of having leftover materials that are not being utilised. They quietly sit somewhere in the corner waiting to be noticed.
In our case, it’s different cards that we don’t include in the packages, or fabrics that were left from when we were setting up our creative studio.
But it doesn’t mean they need to stay like that. We can easily think up how to merge them into different things. So many ideas can be born spontaneously. You can mix and match different components you like during the process — that’s part of the creative flow.
For example, we ended up making different sets of cards for different purposes, like team building. We mixed cards left from workshops and created a completely new set. We also made pillows and ties for women from leftover material. Even if they’re not directly related to what we do at Bloomerangas, they help us train our creative muscle and bring us joy.
So if you have leftover items, just try playing with them. Don’t overthink what to do — start experimenting, and ideas will begin to form. Let those ideas move through you and materialize in their own way.
You can create different tunes from the same sounds — it’s all a matter of how you mix them up.
Let us know what you end up creating!
🎄 P.S. The pillows and ties could be a perfect gift for your funky friends. You can grab them here if you want - https://karalyte.com/shop/#goodies.
