[Nfb-krafters-korner] FB: Holiday Craft Traditions

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
We didn't do many crafts at home for the holidays, but mom baked cookies. 
Sometimes we helped.  At school, though, we usually made a present for our 
parents and we made those paper chains and things like that.  One year we 
made ornaments from pipe cleaners and beads.

I spent several Christmases crocheting wreaths.  I would take a plastic lid 
and cut out the center and crochet around the rim that was left.  I would 
put a red bow on a green wreath and sometimes put a bell on it.  I made a 
bunch of those.  I haven't done it for a while, though.  I'd need to get 
more red and green yarn.  I don't know how I would know, online, if I were 
getting bright, Christmasy red and green yarn, since there are so many 
shades.
Thanks
Lauren
