About-to-be Christmas decorations

Yesterday's blip was of some of the beautiful Christmas tree decorations for sale in the local garden centre. Today's blip is of the DIY version!

Our parish assistant who does fantastic work with our church kids and also the kids in the Scripture Union groups in the local primary schools was looking for a bit of help with stuff for crafts for their Christmas activities. So I've been making loops with silver and gold string and poking them into polystyrene balls which the kids will then decorate. I did 50+ at the weekend and I thought I'd just blip the next batch of 20+ while the glue was drying!

No time to hang about ... off to make some more! This reminds me (if I needed reminding!) why I didn't become a primary teacher!
