Advent Ornaments

Kids undecorate this tree! The ornaments are gifts in ribbon pouches, one to open each da starting December 1. To make ornaments, cut wide grosgrain or satin ribbon into 8- or 10-inch lengths. Fold in half. Sew up the sides on a machine; trim the tops with pinking shears. Slip candy or small toys inside. Mark the dates on tags with a marker or rubber stamp; thread cord through tags, and tie on bags to close. Hang bags or tuck safely between branches.
