Directions:
Use a 1 pint school milk carton as the base of the gingerbread house. Glue the carton onto a 6" by 6" piece of cardboard covered in foil. Then making the walls and roof is done by gluing graham crackers onto the sides and the top of the carton. Then using vanilla frosting, frost the roof, "ground," and anywhere else you wish.

Candy Wreath

Materials: 1 coat hanger, 30 pieces of assorted, wrapped hard candies, suckers, etc., 30 pieces of colorful curling ribbon, cut into 8" pieces, Wire cutters, Pliers to bend the hanger, Masking tape, A dull pair of scissors to curl the ribbon
Adult Supervision

Directions:
Unbend the hanger and cut it in half (this will be enough for 2 kids). Bend the 1/2 hanger into a circle leaving about 4" at the top to make a hook. Twist the end to make it look like a circle with a hook on it. Cut your curling ribbon into 8" pieces. Fold your ribbon in half. In the middle of that ribbon tie one piece of candy. Tie it on the end of the candy where the paper twists. Now tie the candy with 2 knots tightly on to the hanger. Tie the candy right next to the wire to help cover it up. Use the scissors to curl the ribbon on each end. Repeat the process for all your candy pieces. It might take a few more or less than 30 depending on the size of each candy. Suckers should be tied close to the head. You may add a ribbon on the top to cover the hook if you want. Tip: Tie on a pair of small scissors so people can eat the candy when they visit.

Materials: 3" Frosted ball, Ornament jewels (one side flat) of different sizes and shapes, Tacky glue

Directions:
Apply glue to the back of the jewels and apply to the ornament. You may need to hold in place for a minute or two depending on the type of glue used. Let dry.

NOTE: You can use sparkle glue or glitter fabric paint to attach the jewels. Use lots of glue to make sure the jewels will stay put.

Directions:
Put cardboard inside bag as a base. Fill the bag 3/4 full with shredded newspaper. Close bag and tie with elastic band, leaving about 2-1/2 inches of bag at top to make the angel's collar. Fold top of bag outwards and downwards all around to shape the collar. 

Center the doily on top of the collar and glue in place. Cut a square from the nylon stocking large enough to fit over the styrofoam ball. Pull the stocking tight, gather the excess and stitch through the gathers to secure. Cut off excess stocking. Glue this head to the center of the doily, with gathers at the back of the head.

Take a handful of Spanish moss and fit around face and back of head to form the hair. Glue into place. Fill in any bare spots with more Spanish moss. Twist an 18-inch length of narrower paper ribbon and form into a halo, knotting the ends together. Trim ends at an angle and glue halo to top of angel's head, with the knot at the back.

Make angel wings by tying a bow from the wider paper ribbon. Flatten wings slightly, center and glue to angel's back. Glue a band of narrower ribbon around the base of the
bag, with the ends in the back. Glue flat beads to front of angel's face for eyes, or push round beads into the styrofoam and glue in place. Glue foil bow or bow tied from gold ribbon to the left side of the collar.
