Teenager makes survival blankets from crisp packets to ‘make a difference’

A 13-year-old who has made survival blankets for the vulnerable using crisp packets said she did it to “make a difference close to home”.

She said she was unaware that crisp packets could be used to make blankets prior to volunteering with the company. The 49-year-old added: “You then put your baking paper on top of that and it’s literally a one two with the iron. Through word of mouth among family, friends and those in the local area, she collected hundreds of packets to use for the blankets, and also made use of packets given to Crisp Packet Project through donations.“It was also nice knowing that they were going to go out to people somewhere to help them,” she added.“She came down with her father and mother and just cracked on making the crisp packets into strips on our two hour workshop,” she said.
