Makerspace Crafts

Between the Makerspace Business Club and the Middle School Business (Chicken Middle), students have produced a wide variety of items that have helped fund supplies and equipment in the Makerspace.

Coasters

Laser-etched coasters were some of our first items.

As our capabilities have expanded, epoxy has been added into the mix:

Keychains

The middle schoolers started making epoxy keychains two years ago and these seem to be able to sell themselves. Visitors to the Makerspace will often find them hanging from a display and want to take one home.

Earrings

Both middle and high-school students have been spotted wearing earrings of our own design.

Binders

Now that we’ve figured out the living hinges, we have binders available for sale (often with custom designs).

Chess

Students have made a fair number of chess boards, often laser-cutting (or sometimes using the CNC) the board shapes and filling squares with epoxy, but they seem to like making epoxy chess pieces even more, so we have a bit of a surplus of those at the moment.

Holiday Ornaments

Of course, the holiday season offers lots of opportunities for create decorations.

Games

The precision of the laser cutter, and an interest in traditional games has resulted in the production of some pretty neat game sets.
