I work with Independent Living seniors
My director would like to ad more art/crafts
The residents do not want to make simple paper items
They do not need anything for themselves
I once made bath salts in jars as gifts for their families
They loved it
Any ideas?

Artisan Soap Making (super easy, just buy soap base, soap coloring and essential oils/ fragrance) We do a different bar each week. They make two, one for themselves, one for a gift.

Sock Gnomes - Also super easy, can make for each holiday.

Macrame

Dream Catchers

Go on pinterest and find Adult Craft DIY - Find something you would want for yourself, and figure out if its doable
