This activity is majorly taught to our NGO ladies, as the raw material required for making bags is readily available in the Market as well as Paper bags have some advantages over plastic bags when guilt comes to sustainability. Paper bags or Paper envelopes can be used in various forms like gift bags for gifting, Newspaper bags for boutiques or retail shops etc, printed paper bags for brand promotions.

The paper bags taught at Corvee majorly focus on:
What is the occasion? Where is it going to be used? What product weight the bag is going to carry? This helps the ladies to create bags as per user needs and which are strong and reusable.

Promoting Jewellery Creation

While very few people would turn down any piece of jewelry, gifting one that is handmade can often make a better impression. As these jewelry pieces are one of a kind, the wearer will never have to worry about getting their piece mixed up with another, and they will also be able to say that it is unique
We learn from history that ancient civilisations appreciated jewelry and it was used to highlight the natural beauty of its wearers. Different pieces were worn to symbolize different messages such as security, wisdom, elegance, and prosperity.

Promoting Aromatic Product Creation

India has a rich tradition of using incense in many social and religious occasions”. Incense sticks, also known as agarbatti, joss sticks, in which an incense paste is rolled around a bamboo stick, is one of the main forms of incense in India. Other main forms of incense are cones and logs which are incense paste formed log shapes, and then dried, incense remains an important part of the daily puja ritual, which is a religious offering performed by all Hindus to their deities, especially during the beginning of a new venture, or to commemorate some special occasion. The smoke is believed to ward off demons and cleanse the air around. They are fragmented.
Aroma oil is made by steaming or pressing various parts of a plant (flowers, bark, leaves or fruit) to capture the compounds that produce fragrance. Handmade natural soaps are made in small batches with care by the soap maker. High quality ingredients and pure essential oils are used to create unique formulas. Each handmade soap bar is not only natural but functional, safe, luxurious and gentle to the skin. Especially for those with skin sensitivities, they find handmade bars to be nurturing and beneficial.
