Continuing to work through this year's craft projects

In October we made jam jar lanterns and paper pumpkins

#SeniorCrafting

Our second December project was painting wooden stars.

We use acrylic paint pens which makes it much easier for the residents

Need to find a better background than our pale walks but here are 3 types of paper snowflake/star that we'll be making in the Care Homes this month

I wanted to get a picture before they get crumpled in transit

Had a trial run today of making paper pumpkins for the craft classes
Used strips of Halloween. Autumn and coffee themed craft paper with twisted tissue stalk and leaves

#SeniorCrafting

In July we were painting acrylic pendants and making paper sunflowers. We made pompoms for the centre of the flowers

Time to start preparing for April's classes.
140 eggs in 4 sizes: 3, 4, 5 & 6 cms.
All have had a coat of gesso, I'll check tomorrow for any missed spots and then bag 10 for each of the 14 classes.
They'll be decorated with marker pens and stick on crystal tiles

Finishing off this month with a few pics of our Easter baskets
These were incredibly popular, I had to order more kits!

A few more sheep from this month's classes.

We'll definitely be making pompoms again, the residents have loved them.

I learnt today that the bottle tops from school milk was originally card with a hole for the straw, making them ideal for pompoms
