Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I am trying to find online craft ideas, with directions, for elderly people in a nursing home. I have found a few things on creatingtogetherjournal.com, but it only gave me two sample ideas because it is a craft magazine. I volunteer and don't have the money to buy a craft book. If anyone has suggestions, as to where online to find ideas, please respond. Thanks.

Two of my favorite sites are: www.craftbits.com and www.favecrafts.com
Another good site in addition to the ones Patty Lynn posted is:
I also use the sewing pages at about.com for free patterns.
The neat thing about all of the sites, the ones Patty Lynn posted, and the one I posted, is that you can sign up for free e-newsletters to your inbox-some are weekly and others are daily. I get several from the about.com site, and the favcraft one too-lots of great ideas!
Try FaveCrafts.com They have easy crafts & recycled crafts & everything for all ages & experience levels. Good Luck & have Fun! : )
This is a page about crafts for visually impaired nursing home patients. Visual impairment can affect the type of crafts a person can do enjoyably and successfully.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
I volunteer at a local nursing home and do crafts with the residents a couple times a month.
I work in the activities department of a busy nursing home. It is a challenge finding craft ideas that are enjoyable to MEN.
