    I would like to start a volunteer assignment for crafting.  I am looking for projects, patterns, ideas for items volunteers can make for hospital patients.  Would you please share with me any craft projects you might have in place at your hospital?
     
    Thanks,
    Jamine Hamner

    We have a group called Knit and Chat.  They make lap robes, and chemo caps.  Church groups make prayer shawls and distribute to our patients.

    Thank you to all who responded via egroup to my question.  I have posted those responses here for future reference: 

    • We have some great examples on our web page under our volunteer section. Robin Armstrong, armstrongrr@archildrens.org, www.archildrens.org
    • We have volunteers that sew surgical caps for pedicatric patients….we take donations of fabric and other supplies, and they take them home and sew them.  The kids love them!  An eighth grade class is taking on the same sewing project for one of their classes too. Lynn Lauritzen

    • We make surgery caps for children.  They seem to like bright colors and funny patterns rather than the regular blues ones used for all patients.  Debbie Peyton

    • I do not have enough volunteers that do crafts, but I do know that Lap blankets, place mats, cards, shawls and baby hats, baby blankets are very appreciated when different church groups give them to our patients.   Good luck.  Have a good weekend.  Gillian B. Capparelli, BSRN

    We have an Arts in Medicine program with a dedicated coordinator.  The volunteers are trained on our "Art Cart" to do small crafts one on one with patients.  They can also supply music at the bedside and work with the patient on a creative writing project.  Patients seem to relax and sleep better after a session with an Art volunteer.
