Let’s “Go Green” and learn how to make reusable storage sheets. Made with cotton fabric and natural beeswax, these sheets can be molded to any shape using the natural warmth of your hands. Once used, simply wash the storage sheet with dish detergent, rinse, reshape and reuse. Enjoy making  and using these pretty and environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic wrap or foil.

Let’s get together and create a sweet little Swedish heart from simple materials. The heart is beautiful on its own or embellish it with dried flowers, ribbons, or fill with sweet treats. Crafting is a fun way to get in touch with your creative side and to improve dexterity, relieve stress, and connect with your NNORC friends and neighbors. Presenter Judi England, RN, loves crafts as much as she does yoga! She offers wellness programs in the NNORC and loves working on sewing and craft projects in her free time.
