Album Info:

How I Got Started Making Straps - I am a bi-vocational minister/School Teacher. I teach an alternative eduction class in a small school in Arkansas working with special needs kids. We teach the core subjects but also focus a great deal on Character Education. We were doing a craft lesson in math in 04, teaching the kids how to read a ruler for measurement. We decided to make crafts to give away as presents. I taught the kids to braid during a focus exercise so we made several things from the leather I had. One of the kids I was teaching mandolin to needed a strap for his mandolin, so that is what we made. When we finished, one of the kids said that in addition to making gifts, we should try to sell some of the crafts and use the money for classroom materials. That's what we did, and the straps did pretty well. This is my 8th year to work with these kids. It's been very rewarding. I continue to make straps and teach the kids each year how to braid so they can make gifts for friends and family. I put an ad on mandolincafe.com about twice a year. I mostly make them as presents. - HOW TO ORDER Contact me at rhogan000@gmail.com with your order. I generally have you strap made and ready to ship by the time your check reaches me unless I happen to be out of town when you order a strap or if there are several orders in front of you. THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO READ OUR STORY.
