They painted up nice(screw eyes)! Wondered where you got the blocks!! Our Michael's has changed so much, not near as much stuff as used to have. Lighting isn't too good so hard to find what you want. Should go to a different 1. After looking at the ornament some more I do think the screw eyes add a richness to it that a cord wouldn't. Thanks for the info. I made a spider last night, I can't find 1 I made last yr. It is just black bumpy chenille 4-12 in. long, pieces. Each piece needs 4 bumps. Put them together & take 1 & twist around the other 3 spread out all 8 legs. In center add 2 in black pompom with hot glue. Arrange legs ,I turned up tips a little & bend where each leg gets thin so it sits like spider, see where you want to put 2 ziggle eyes 10-12 mm attach with hot glue. turn over & hot glue little on area legs come together under the pompom so you won't "lose a leg!! Place with you decorations for Halloween. Very easy, about 5 minutes to make. Jan

No crochet! Wrap it around two fingers and use a darning needle to make the wreath and red to make the bow.

I glued the Christmas tree down first, then added some Buffalo brand iridescent snow flakes. I covered the lid with gauze and then glued on a pearl trim. I unscrewed the lid and added the pearl with some string to hang the ornament. I have no idea where the snow flakes came from. They were in my craft stock pile so I used them. I can't take credit for this ornament since I found it on Pinterest (there were not instructions though). I have my main craft and my ornament planned, now I just have to plan my menu. I will buy all the chocolate supplies and luckily our cake supply store is having a Customer Appreciation sale on December 4th....just in time.

I do this once a year at Christmas time. Everyone pays for their own main craft, but I pay for the ornament. The two times we have done food crafts I have bought all the supplies and then they pay me. We did use molds for the chocolates and I bought two of the chocolate melting pots which work wonderful. You put wax or oil in the chocolate to give it a shine, paint the inside of the mold with chocolate and then fill it. Stick it in the freezer for 5 minutes or so and then pop them out. About 3 years ago a gf and I took a chocolate class and this is where I got the idea. Here is my ornament.
