String Ornaments
December 8, 2007

Here’s a lovely idea for a craft project, tomorrow while the rain returns to our fair city.

You’ll need some cotton string or yarn, some white glue, some little cups, some small blown-up balloons or wax paper. It’s messy so you’ll want to have some soap and water handy too. You might want some food color, glitter or paints.

Put the glue into the little cups; about a quarter to a half cup of glue per cup. Add food color if you want. Take a length of string about two feet long or so (more or less) and submerge it in the glue. Get it thoroughly glued up, and take it out and either wrap it around a balloon or create a flat design on the wax paper.

If you like, sprinkle it with glitter.

Let it dry for a day or two, and remove it from the wax paper or pop and remove the balloon. String it up with some thread and invite the grandparents to come admire the beauty.
