Make Ball Ornaments and Spread Goodwill

1) Child’s Christmas Ball Ornaments.
What you need: Styrofoam balls. Ribbon. Glitter. Glue. Interesting buttons, or rhinestones.

What you do: Glue interesting buttons, or rhinestones on ball. Let dry. Glue ball again and then shake glitter on it. Let dry. Cut four or five inches of ribbon. Fold ribbon in half. Glue ribbon to top of ball so it can hang from Christmas tree. If this ribbon breaks you can pin it in, but make sure there are no children under four in house.

2) Spread Goodwill. Have your family volunteer at a soup kitchen, a local food pantry (Some churches and temples do it for the holidays. You can sort food.), or each contribute whatever they can afford to a needy cause (Save the Dolphins, Red Cross, Cancer Society) or put money in a Salvation Army red pot. Or make the above ornaments and give to hospices to put on Christmas trees or hang in windows.
