| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Cut the rims off the plastic lids, then help your children cut out seven (or as many as you like) leaf shapes from the clear plastic. If you want, you can create "veins" on the leaves by lightly scoring each one with an X-Acto blade. |

| 4. | To make a hanger, tie the ends of a 6- to 8-inch piece of fishing line to each end of the stick. |
