I can't claim to have made this one...yet! My daughter received this little cutie as a gift from her nursery teachers.{Julie and Katie-best nursery teachers EVER!!!}And she and I love it. Could be because my girls are completely taken with all things I Spy, or just because it's brilliant? Either way, these are on my list for preschool gifts for my youngest 2's classmates this year.
Here's what you need to put one of these together:
Plastic Center-splitting ornament
Plastic Filler Pellets
8-10 Miniature Christmas Items
Ribbon
Paper Tag
**All of these things can be found at most craft stores-even Wal-mart!**
{I popped mine open so you could see a few of the goodies inside.}
The making is easy- open the ornament, fill one side with pellets. Place your treasures in the other half. Snap it back together and give it a shake to mix everything up.
Hand write or jump on the computer and make a list of the things you are looking for. How cute would it be to use a gift tag?
*The tag on mine is laminated-a VERY good idea!*
Slide your list onto your hanger, put the hanger through the ornament top, add a festive bow and your done!
You know your little ones would love this, so go on and get busy...Happy Crafting!
