Take a break: Crafting with Crutches, Wheelchairs and Medical Supplies


Crutches, canes, walkers, and casts don’t have to be boring. Consider some of the following:
• Make an art statement by decorating with all the wonderful styles and colors of duct tape

Shrinkins The Healing Art. Shrinkable skins can be used in a variety of ways to decorate wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes etc.While kits are available on-line, also check out your local hospital gift shops, medical supply stores and other places where durable medical goods might be sold. Check out some of the “how to” videos:



Don’t need the crutches, consider some of these ideas


Cool Stool: Love the reused crutches and a bike wheel (could use one from a discarded wheelchair) to make a very cool stool 

Consider making art with your wheel chair


Other Ideas
• Surgical Gloves: Fill with ice and freeze. Makes for an interesting addition to a punch bowl. If you’re going to using your frozen hands (or fingers) in drinks, use the powder free gloves.
