This fun-to-fold ribbon candy decoration really dresses up a tree or a window. Arrange several in a small box, and you've got a great gift package to send to a long-distance relative or family friend.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 17 inches of 1 1/2-inch-wide wire ribbon (striped or solid
colors work well)
16 inches of clear fishing line or decorative thread Needle Pencil | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: fishing line, ribbon | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | For each ornament, fold down 1/4 inch at each end of the ribbon, then accordion-fold the ribbon in 1 3/4-inch sections. |
| 2. |  Knot one end of the fishing line and thread the other
through the needle. Push the needle up through the bottom of the
folded ribbon pile and return the needle 1/4 inch away from the
original hole as shown. Knot the line at the bottom. |
| 3. | Pull the line from the top until the ribbon sandwich is
about 1 1/2 inch thick and the two bottom knots are taut. Knot
the line on top as shown, so that a loop is left for hanging. Now
use a pencil or your finger to round out the side folds.
