Those look so well thought out and intriguing for the patients! What size are they? I am trying to imagine other things that could be used, particularly if the patient is a man, things that he might be familiar with.

Big washers or nuts on a sturdy cord? "Industrial" zippers? (like what might be on a pair of overalls)

Were there guidelines you had to use, or did you just use your (wonderful) imagination?

I made these 18 x 24. I did research on line by what others had made and went with it. Some ideas for a man that I had seen were threaded pc pipe connectors on a heavy cord, bib from bib overalls and even a shirt front. Anything touchy feely

These look great! I'm in the process of adapting one form MIL. Everytime we go to visit her in a nursing home, she seems to be tearing a kleenex apart. But I don't have a lot of bits and bobs.

You did a fantastic job on these. What a big help those will be to the residents. I can picture them being busy for a long time with those. Thanks for your thoughtfulness & kindness in making these.

These are terrific, but I have to ask, where are the bra hooks and eyes! I struggle with them now and I'll bet I'm not the only one.
