Make an Inexpensive Holiday Gift for your Friends

If you have to many friends or co-workers to buy gifts for, here is a cheap way to give them all something nice.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Candy canes
  • Ribbon
  • Small Bells
  • Tape
  1. Step 1

    You will need a package of small bells, tape, ribbon of any color you wish, and a pack of candy canes. Make sure the number of candy canes and bells match the number of gifts you need for your friends. It is best to get a few back up candy canes, in case a few of them break.

  2. Step 2

    Cut an arms length of ribbon and thread it in your bell. Put the bell in the center of the ribbon and tie the ribbon to a candy cane. Their should be about the same length of ribbon on each side.

  3. Step 3

    Curl both sides of the ribbon. Make sure the edge of your scissors goes on the lighter side of the ribbon, to avoid scratches on the shiny color.

  4. Step 4

    Using a small piece of tape, tape the ribbon to the candy cane to secure the ribbon. If you do not tape the ribbon it may slide off the candy cane.

  5. Step 5

    If you have cards for your friends, punch a hole in the card with a hole punch. Pull part of your curled ribbon through the hole and knot the ribbon, securing the card to the ribbon. Now you have a cute holiday gift you can give to everyone.
