Crafts/mentally challanged and breast cancer

Question
I just checked out your web site.  Very nice.  I have questions--I need ideas on how to use bathroom tissue rolls for mentally challenged people in a religion class.  I could use several ideas, as I have lots of rolls.  I also need a couple of crafts for a get-together with breast cancer survivors.  I don't want something that has to be sewed.  It needs to be easy and quick.  I would like something spirital, if possible, like a small angel or something.  Thanks.  Shirley

Answer
I just noticed that you needed two types of answers from me. I did not address the breast cancer survivor question.

Again, I'm terrible with craft ideas.

But I know lots of people do well with Fimo or Sculpey modeling clays making ANYTHING and baking it to hardness. You could have people make little stars and then glue a pin backing on the finished star. Kind of an "I survived, so I'm  a star!"

Perhaps searching the Internet for Sculpey or Fimo ideas might help.

Best of luck,
