Tie Dye Fiber Art To Benefit The Homeless
In a thrift store donated clothing that has stains is died or modified to add value.
Q1: What is question #1?
Idea Description
The majority of items donated to most thrift stores is unsalable and most thrift stores pays thousands of dollars in removal fees every year. I worked on a program where stained but nice clothing was tie dyed and sold as "Peace & Love Wear." The items reduce the waste, double recycled and provided additional revenue to fund the operations of a homeless shelter.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
If I had $10 I would expand advertising and launch other types of recycled goods. I would modify the thrift store venue to be more like a market access point for arts and crafts made from recycled material. I would use the additional funds to buy brochures, pay for staff education and pay my staff a living wage.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
Consider getting local fashion designers involved creating patterns for stylish clothes from reclaimed fabric, too.
