Happy Friday to Everyone!
This is our last installment of
"Christmas in July."
Today we are talking: Gifts
and I have two fun activities
for you.
Paper Clip Angel
Items Needed:
Butterfly Paperclips
(any office store should
have them)
9 mm Pony Beads
1/4" ribbon
1. Hold the clip in your hand and
squeeze the "wings " a bit if needed.
2. Cut your ribbon approx 12" long
and fold in half. Trim the ribbon so
you can slip on the bead.
3.Slip the ribbon through the middle
of the clip, pull up making sure the
ribbon is even then slip the pony
bead on.
4. Tie and knot and you are finished.
Go to youtube for a video if you
need a visual. Google "Paperclip
Angel."
Super easy and fast!
Great for small trees or package
decorations.
Peanut Clusters
These are sooooo simple
and fast too!

Baking Sheet (s)
In a microwave bowl mix the
chips together and cook in
the microwave for 2 minutes.
Stir well, add the nuts and

Package in containers, bags etc
