MAKE YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS
TREE DECORATIONS
Looking for ideas to allow you
and your family to be especially
proud of their Christmas tree'
this year? Making your own orna-
Merits is a good way to have your
family work together and have a
great sense of pride in their
handiwork. Here are a few
simple ideas:
String tree ornaments — inflate
balloons to the desired, size 'of
the ornament. Dip embroidery
floss, yarn or thread in liquid
starch and wrap around the bal-
loons, ens-crossing to make lacey
balls. When the thread is dry,' de-
flate the balloons and remove.
Bows, sequins, glitter, etc. can
im added for extra colour. Hang
on the tree with string or thread,
More than one colour of yarn can
be used for interesting effects.
Use your imagination when wrap-
pina
b
the thread and the balloons
and experiment with various
shapes of balloons.
Cookie ornaments -- ginger-
bread or sugar coolies both make
good ornaments. Put a thread
through the cookie before baking.
3 Dimensional ornaments —
any shape can be used, but angels
and snowflakes are the most
popular. Cut 2 of the same shape
and paint, cover with foil or col-
oured paper, add decorations, i.e.
glitter, sequins, angel hair and
so on. To fit the 2 shapes to-
gether, slit one up the centre
from the bottom halfway up the
shape and slit the other one to
the same point,. starting at the
top. Slip the two together and add
a thread or string to fasten to
the tree. These move and turn
in the air and are most attract-
ive.
Of course, don't short-change
the old standards — popcorn,
cranberries and bits of foil strung
together and draped on the tree.
For some new and tasty ideas
for Christmas fare, a bulletin
"Festive Foods" is available
