Away in a Manger Ornament

 These are my favorite handmade ornaments I've ever received. (thanks Brenda).  I liked them so much, I've given them away twice myself (great advantages of moving often is that you can repeat awesome ideas).

 I was going to do a step-by-step tutorial, but I have decided that you people are pretty smart and can figure it out w/ out one.

You can find these mini-wreaths at craft stores.  I found them for 33 cents/ piece.
Step1: Paint little wooden balls and stars
Step2: When it dries, draw on closed eyes with a black ball point pen,
Step 3:  Make some "swaddling clothes" out of fabric scraps and glue head inside so it looks like baby Jesus.
Step 4: Glue hay on wreath.
Step 5: Glue baby on top (that sounds weird)
Step 6: Drill hole in stars
Step 7: Attach star with wire
Step 8: Attach ribbon to hang on tree

Quick and easy.  We made them for family night and knocked out about 2 dozen in an hour.  If you do the math that's being able to tell 24 people that you care about them for about $10 in under an hour.
