[Nfb-krafters-korner] types of braille cards

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

 I have one made of chord and a teddy bear bead.  The loop goes over the braille pages.  I think the bead slides to adjust the size.  Will have to dig it out.

Hi,
I just thought of a book mark idea.  I made one for my reader at work once.
Take a length of satin cordand attach a small beaded item or a metal charm, or a larger tear drop shaped bead to the ends.  The decoration dangles from the book and the cord is placed into the book.

Jill,
I really agree with you on these ideas. The idea is to make a small craft item to place with the card like Denise suggested braille crosses, which is a wonderful idea. I believe we need to make decisions as to items or cards we will make and plan from there. I know I would love to purchase a card that has a little braille items that I could keep to remember what was sent to me on my birthday, in addition to the card. I like Terry P. idea of making a item on the plastic form to keep for a long time and a suggestion of this idea on a key chain, great for a man or woman. Like I said wonderful ideas.

Hi all,

I was just thinking that rather than focusing on just Christmas cards, we should develop ideas for birthdays.  After all, Christmas comes but once a year.  Birthdays however are all year long.  This might produce more selling opportunities through out the year.  Also, sympathy cards might be a consideration.  Sometimes it is a special thought in midst of grieving which gives a person comfort.  Those are just a few ideas.

Jill
