PREPARATION
SOMETHING WE SHARE After a year of quarantines, lockdowns, and social isolation, we must remember that we are never truly alone. This craft’s purpose is to remind us of the bonds we share with our loved ones. Therefore, it should be completed with a group; specifically, the people that you are most connected to. They are a part of your “community”, and you, a part of theirs. Each person should express themselves in their own craft, so that when the pieces come together, they will each represent a piece of you. This is a token of the “community” that you share with the ones that you love. So, when it is all said and done, you will remember: Regardless of where you are, you will always have somewhere to belong; with your “community”. And that is worth sharing.
