Monday Crafts Class - Molly

Hey guys! So as you know I have been volunteering in the crafts class. Today, the crafts class tutor was away, so I was put in charge of coming up with a project and running the session.

The project I decided upon was a huge butterfly hanging mobile, made from painted collages they did the previous week. As each service user came in, I made sure to supply them with all their scissors, collages and butterfly templates. I also provided one service user with additional activities as she was unable to do cutting out. I therefore gave her paper and pencils to use, as well as some glue and gems so she could decorate cut out butterflies.

Throughout the session, everyone cut out and decorated their butterflies, then chose their colour ribbons to hang their butterflies off towards the end of the session. After that Tiffany assisted with a glue gun in sticking the butterflies to the ribbons of choice, which we then assisted the service users in tying them to the hoop.

We completed the mobile with a giant butterfly hanging in the middle, and got the boss to hang it from the ceiling, where it swirls in the breeze.
