As promised, I have pictures of what we did with the decorative papers that we made by painting brown, paper bags. The most simple thing to make would be cards, which we still might do in the future. For our recent gathering, however, some residents combined our handmade, patterned paper with bits of other paper and ribbon to cover boxes to use as plant stands. There are always those plants with trailing vines that could use a little bit of a lift above the fray.
Some of the other residents used the patterned paper with other paper and bits of ribbon to cover boxes that can be used as trays for their dressers. A good place for earrings and other odds and ends. I did some larger pieces of paper, which I'm planning to make into wall hangings.
And as always, we created a sense of community and a sense of fun. And isn't that the whole point of activities!
