As you recall, we were discussing how to make ornaments fron Christmas cards with someone who has dementia.

If the dementia person is at risk for eating things, or needs close supervision, it is probably best to just use the front of the Christmas card without cutting or pasting anything.

The one thing you will have to do is punch a hole or in someother way, make  a hole at the top of the picture. Then put some ribbon or string through the hole and tie it . Now it is ready to hang on the tree.

Tomorrow, we will go back to the discussion of how to make the Christnas tree ornaments a bit more festive.

As always, make sure to leave your comments and questions
