Lynnie, here are 3 ideas that may work for you. Take pieces of packing foam and cut into assorted sizes and shapes. Wrap with small pieces of fabric, or wrapping paper and decorate with ribbons and bows. I still have some from years ago that my kids made with me and seeing the every year is fun. Buy bags of craft balls and use torn strips (about 1/2" works best) of asstd. fabric. Use hot glue or elmer's to secure the strips as you wrap the balls. When covered use twine, lace, rick rack, ribbon, etc. to decorate and make a hanger. They are simple to make and so fun to add embellishments to gear to someones decorating tastes. The last suggestion is to take between 15 and 20 pieces or lace, rick rack, ribbon, narrow cut pieces of fabric, etc. all cut to about 11". Lay a piece of cord about half way down and fold the stack of items in half over cord. Tie another piece of cord down from the fold about 1/2" to 3/4". What you are making are tassels. Sew or glue buttons onto the bottom of the ribbons. Didn't mean to make this so long and hope you understand the directions. Brenda
