Girl Scouts of the USA just launched the Girl Scout Tree Promise: a bold mission to protect the planet from the effects of climate change by planting 5 million trees. As part of that mission, we’re excited to partner with JOANN for some earth-friendly crafts that help girls flex their creativity and get in the spirit of saving the planet.

Whether making homemade tree ornaments or stamps or remixing a plain white T-shirt, girls will be inspired by the natural world and bring a little of that wonder into their daily lives.

Tie-dyeing T-shirts are an old favorite, but with the extensive prep and mess that it can leave behind, this craft often gets passed over for other easier projects. Now, this mess-free alternative lets you be as creative as you want—without fear of stains, spills, or drips.
