A holiday craft for you

We spent this afternoon setting up the tree and decking the halls. I also got the cards ordered, and they'll be ready tomorrow, which is a huge relief.

I thought tonight I would share a neat holiday craft that we did back in Hawaii and that we have enjoyed each year since then. The kids even made them as gifts for their teachers at Waimalu Elementary. Behold the amazing clothespin wreath (as seen with last year's cards on it):



Basically, you take a clotheshanger and stretch it into a circle. Open it at the top and string it with red beads and clothespins that you have painted in 2 different shades of green. Close up the top again, slap on a bow, and voila! Your wreath is ready to hang on a wall and make a cheery display of your holiday cards.

Am I Martha Stewart, or what?
