Use your crafting skills to bring warmth, comfort, and joy to seniors in Iowa. Every card and creation reminds a person that they are loved and remembered. You can help bring a smile to a someone's face by creating a cute little origami pet for them!

Here are some videos with instructions, or you can search YouTube to find other patterns:

🐶 Origami Dog -> https://youtu.be/GFTBGnSz704
🐱 Origami Cat -> https://youtu.be/uqB3zMJXG28

Create 2 pets, give them each a name and include a short note or card with each pet introducing it to its new owner and wishing them well. Please DO NOT say "get well soon" in your message, stick with "thinking of you", "sending smiles", etc.. Sign the cards with your first name and state - ie. Sophia from Little Rock, AR.
