Hi!
I have worked in an afterschool program for low income children.
We have taken cinnamon sticks cut 3" each. We bundled 3 sticks together with a rubber band. Next, you take green garland (the one with bendable wire) to wrap around the rubber bands. (I cut the garland with wire cutters the length needed to wrap around the bundles) Then you take little decorations, (buttons, beads, etc) and hot glue to the garland. Last, you take a piece of twine to make a loop for hanging, glue to the garland. These smell nice!
We have made ornaments with styrofoam balls and pinned sequins all around the balls. We made a loop with colored ribbon and pinned on the ball for hanging.
We have also made paper chains and hung them on the trees, making sure each chain is only one foot long.
Hope this helps
Michelle
