Post Family reunion..

Need ideas for maybe a craft or whatever (that's rather cheap) to have at reunion (in 3 wks). Something for kids 2 to 19) & something for adults. I thought about coffee mugs with last name initial but might run into $.
Anything!!! Help!!!

for a geat carft, get shirts, with or without printing of the family reunion, and supply paint in spray bottles or just brushes. Acrylic paint doesn't wash off, and let everyone have a go at it to decorate anyway they like. Mix it with a bit of water and put it in a spray bottl, to spray away. Acrylic paints are cheap about .59 for 4 oz tube.

Maybe have squares of plain material (five or six in block) and some fabric crayons, or paint and have them design a block and sign it ,. than make a quilt with all blocks to bring to next family reunion. Or have them draw handprints and sign them.

Microwave bowls. Everyone will be happy and you can use up scraps!

Not fabric oriented--but school age children love making "glitter bottles."

Mug rugs with initial on them, microwave bowls, I pad covers, pot holders, 10 minuet table runners, oven towels, tissue covers, treasure bags & 3" match game for the little ones. These all can be made out of your scraps & can be googled for free patters.
