Crafting A Door Collage

Residents were able to express their hobbies, favorite foods, pets, colors and more through a collage made out of magazine clippings.
Each person took a piece of cardboard for their base. Next they picked and cut magazine pieces.
Lastly, arranged on the board then glued down.
Once dried I hung outside their door.

More Sweet Treat Crafts and Helping Hands!

This morning a resident and I worked on wrapping "fake" gifts for a table centerpiece. It was nice to have the help and she really enjoys helping me too! #DIY can be easy and affordable.
Wrapped gifts with fancy bows or tied on ornaments can turn a boring table into something festive.

Helping Hands.

Easy table decor!

Later on a group of us made lollipop paper crafts. We took a paper plate and created an old time swirl pattern with marker. Next painted and then of course added some glitter. Once dry a pop stick you by from the craft store will be glued on the back.  These will go in the dining room for our sweet treat theme!

Group Collage is More Fun!

So many helping hands and so much fun!
We took winter and holiday cut outs from magazines and created a long mural.

Supplies you need;
A little bit of paint for snow and clouds, sponge brush.
Break down a card board box and cut off flaps. Makes a long mural.
Old magazines.
Scissors and glue.

Paint your clouds and snow first.
We had our magazine cut outs done so we could easily view where they should be placed. We did not cut as we go. Glue your pieces on the board.
**Cards also make nice cut outs too.
Remember this is a more abstract story. You are not looking for perfection.

Gingerbread Craft Turns Out Awesome!

On Tuesday it was chilly but, we were thinking about warm gingerbread cookies!
We used Strathmore artist paper so our gingerbread did not weigh down the paper.
One of my favorite craft tools are q-tips. They are easy to use and create an interesting design.
So we dabbed q-tips in different colors. Every gingerbread is unique and really makes our holiday display a pleasure to look at! Enjoy!
