The proper way is the way your tax lawyer/accountant tells you to. Once 
THAT has been settled, we can then tell you "how in gnucash".

I lack the "qualifications" to give this sort of advice, especially as 
there are two parts to it. The "materials" part of it is easy, a debit 
to donations and a credit to your materials inventory. The "design work" 
part of it I would not be willing to hazard a guess. Maybe somebody on 
this list who donates professional services might answer.
