    Sherry, I always say that you can pick up stuff that others would throw away and make into something beautiful and you’ve done it again. If I glued some twigs together, that’s just what it would look like but not you you make a very cute little lantern out of them. Everything you just made looks very beautiful. Thanks for showing us all how to do these little decorations. They are so beautiful and you are so talented.

    I love hand made Christmas Ornaments. This year I am making “candy sticks” for my red, white, and wood ornament theme. Cut a reusable plastic straw to about the length of a dollar bill. I tore thin strips of red and white mattress ticking long enough to tuck in the end and glue with a drop of glue. Begun twisting the fabric tightly from the top down tucking in the end when the candy stripe is done. I made a small red twine hanger to glue to the back. On the top of the stick I glued pine sprigs and a white plastic snow flake. I used a little Decoupage on the twisted fabric to bind the twists. Tea or coffee dyed red and white pipe cleaners twisted into candy canes are inexpensive and look rustic and woodsy.

    I bet your candy sticks are adorable! I also love your idea of using red, white, and wood for your tree. I haven’t decided on a tree theme this year. It may be “dog treats” because my new puppy gets into everything! 😜

    These ornaments were so charming and so clever Sherry. My favorites were the mini Shiny Brite boxes. They were adorable! I look forward to seeing what you'll create with little odds and ends. So clever.
