A special thanks to Marshalltown St. Paul's Preschool for sharing their creative craft. Hope you all will experience the same excitement and joy of grins and giggles as they did while working on the project. The ornaments make an awesome replacement for balloons (you can hang them on jute twine) and can be reused for decorations on any occasion.
Thanks for stopping in and have a colorful day!!
