When planning activities that draw on Indigenous culture, CleverPatch™ encourages you to connect with Aboriginal Communities in your local area. A great first step is to contact your local Aboriginal Land Council. Working together with the appropriate cultural owners helps ensure any creative or art-making experiences are undertaken with respect and care.

Step 1 Sketch out some designs onto scrap paper before sketching onto the branch offcuts in pencil. You can copy our designs or come up with your own!
Step 2 Use acrylic paint to add colour to your designs then allow to dry.
Step 3 Use a permanent pen to create the outlines of your designs.
Step 4 Add a coat of Mod Podge Gloss and allow to dry.
Step 5 Take a brooch back, peel off the backing paper and press firmly in place on the back of your branch offcut. Your unity badge is now ready to wear!
