Do you like to make candy canes? I am not talking about the candy variety, but I am referring to the cross stitch variety. Have you ever heard of a cross stitch candy cane? It is a cool activity that you can make and use an ornament or a bookmark. These make great Christmas gifts for everyone in your family, and you can make these while watching television. Why not get crafty and make some holiday ornaments when you are just lounging in front of your favorite DVD?

    This is a fun craft idea for young kids because it is very easy to make. The ebay ornaments are very cute, but those were just the ones that come up when I type in Christmas ornaments on the ebay capsule. I might buy a few, those are very cute! Your domino pendant is very cute and I hope you have fun making more jewelry.
