Pretty Paper Ornaments...Simple to make

Here's a little project your kids might enjoy doing with you 
 
 
 

Paper Ribbon Candy Ornaments
Enjoy this calorie-free holiday candy -- in ornament form. To make, thread a needle with embroidery floss and knot one end. Using clear acrylic beads and 1-inch-wide double-sided paper strips, create the candy shape by threading two beads between each layer of paper strip as you bend it back and forth. Secure the top bead by running the floss through it twice, and make a loop for hanging.





Paper Ring Christmas Ornaments
Get the kids to help make these simple and colorful ornaments. Overlap the ends of  1-1/4x7-inch-long strips of double-sided cardstock using a glue stick to secure the rings. Punch a hole for the hanger at the overlap. Make small loops with narrow ribbon, slip both ends through the hole, slip on chunky wooden beads, the knot the ends of the ribbon.
