Tree Ice

This is an ornament for the tree. But leaders at the December SU thought of other creative uses.

VERY EASY - DAISY AND UP
1 pencil or 1/4" dowel
1 tinsel silver pipe cleaner

Use the dowel or pencil to wrap the pipe cleaner around. Slide off and slightly strech.

Hang on tree.

At the SU meeting we thought using red and white together and then bending to a candy cane shape would be great.

Thanks to Denise who brought in materials for everyone to make.
