This is a craft project I used at a "nursing home" for residents
with limited ability. Prepare the individual packet before hand.
Items needed:
To make pattern for coffee filter heart, Use a 6" doily similar
to the 4" gold doily. Fold filter in half, trace pattern, and
cut out heart with pinking shears. Take red wide point marker
and make a line about 1/8" around edges. For small 2" red foam
heart, make a pattern using the inside heart portion of the gold
doily.
Cut red foam heart out with pinking shears. Draw a dark
circle in the center on the concave plate; have the resident put
rubber cement in the circle, then have them center the coffee
filter heart pressing down, then put rubber cement on the back of
the 4" gold doily and press this down. Must use tacky glue on
the back of the red foam heart (rubber cement does not hold) and
press down.
Have craft instructor punch two holes at top of
plate and thread 12" piece of wool from the back and make a knot
on the front, for the wall hanger. Use tacky glue to attach card
stock message to the top of the plate. You can make stick on
labels "Handmade by: (write name)" and stick on plate so visitors
can see who made it ... since some are unable to speak!
