Write instructions for creating a Narnian craft to help celebrate the holidays.
Example:
Toffee Tree Wreath Materials: Bag of individually wrapped toffees Grapevine wreath base in the desired size (available at any craft store) Real or imitation dollar plant sprigs Wire glue gun Imitation holly or olive sprigs (optional) Using the grapevine wreath as a base, attach sprigs of dollar plant leaves (These are the plants with the round, white waxy leaves and no flowers) using the hot glue gun. Once the wreath has the desired fullness, thread wire through the end wrapping of several toffees to form a cluster, and attach the cluster to the wreath. Repeat this process until you have toffee clusters all over the wreath. Note: the wreath will be more festive if the toffees are wrapped in brightly colored papers, like reds or green. You may also elect to mix in faux holly or olive sprigs to add a bit of color to the white of the dollar plant leaves. When your wreath is finished, hang it in the location of your choice with a pretty note inviting your guests to ‘Please Take One’. Note: if you don’t have a strong wall or hook to hang it from, you may want to save the invitation to eat the toffees for a party where you can lay the wreath on a table as a centerpiece. Otherwise it may fall off the wall. Enjoy!
