Michael Montondon, the Founder of Bags Into Beds, is on a mission to get single use plastic out of the landfills and natural areas as well as provide comfort for those experiencing homelessness. He's found a way to do both. He makes pillows and beds out of these plastics.

Crafting Change has agreed to partner with Bags Into Beds by helping to sew the pillow shells that they will stuff! These are easy to sew and light to ship. We've partnered with Michael to create an easy to follow set of instructions with pictures. Micael is also joining us for a special Zoom Room on June 6th at 3:30pm MDT to walk us through how to sew these as well as show us his process of turning the plastic into stuffing! The plastic becomes downy soft and makes a great pillow. We will be shipping him empty covers ready to stuff and then he will stuff them, sew them closed and distribute to homeless shelters across Los Angeles, CA.

Our goal is to send this program 200 pillow covers.
