This is not an official GSUSA Badge. This is an interpretation by The Badge Archive on how to combine the requirements for Daisy Craft and Tinker and Brownie Craft and Tinker.

What is this badge about?

Look at creations, brainstorm an idea, make a craft using tools, then think of one improvement.

Our Summary* of Requirements:

Search for inventions (place, around you, online, or a person who makes them).
Think of something with a purpose (play, wear, solve a problem, make a gift).
Learn one aspect of the craft your choose (tools, measurement, materials).
Make a craft with a specific function, form, OR fit.
Alter a craft you made (theme it, personalize it, change it one way, add a new feature).
