Christmas Craft Ornament Idea

So, I was invited to an Ornament party coming up where you are supposed to make 'homemade' ornaments. Being as 'crafty' as I am, after agreeing to do it, I actually found it quite challenging! I definitely wanted to do something different than everyone and tried to guess what would or could be brought to the party (gosh forbid if you do the same thing as another! lol). I have no idea! I have never been to such a party but I was determined to find an idea that would be unique and I 'think' I found one, we'll see : /, yikes!

Isn't it SO cute! I wanted to share it with you so you can make it for your family's too or for a friend. In my case, I had to make as many of the same ornaments as there are guests (13 or 15, I don't remember). All guests do the same and you end up with one each of the guests homemade ornaments. Like a cookie exchange? She doesn't' know it but, I am also giving the hostess of the party, supplies to make it with her 6 kids (and we pulled my brother's families names and we are making them for their 3 1/4 kids too. shhh! don't tell either family). I'm excited! I know how much she must 'love' a potential messy children's craft party!? he he he. So, all you need is

Red paint
ribbon
wood spools
paper for "list"

 Each family member can have their Christmas wishes, typed or written on paper then taped to the painted spool. You can add new paper it every year marked with that years requests to remember the sweet thoughts of littles at Christmas :) It's SUPER easy and the best idea that someone else made up. ;)
