Plea for Spirit Doll stuff


Hi Everyone,
I hope this finds you well.  I also hope you got a letter inviting you to access the official V-Day website.  I entered the request to our local organizer and hope she has/will follow up. 
When I showed my friend and neighbor Sharon  the treasure box on New Year Eve, she thought it would be cool to allow visitors to our V-Day "Express Yourself" program on Sat. March 15, to make spirit dolls.  I thought it was a cool idea too and now I'm hosting the table that will allow visitors to create their own spirit dolls.  I want this to be a table where a woman can sit down and create something for herself with a little instruction and a pile of fun stuff to choose from. 
Have I mentioned that I've never made a spirit doll?  I've got lots of sticks in  the garage...driftwood from beaches, manzanita from my beloved camp in northern Calif.  So, I was thinking to start with those sticks, wire cab faces to them and then let the visitors wrap them with a prayer for healing and then rags and ribbons and stuff that I can find to add.   
Here's the plea:
I need suggestions, and, I need supplies as there is no budget for that.  Any help or suggestions you could offer would be sooo appreciated.  I guess you know by now that I have a proclivity for jumping off cliffs, trusting in my faith parachute to land me where I'm meant to go and this time, I need all the help I can get!  
Help!  
Love,
Connie
