We decided to make ornaments this year to give as Christmas gifts for teachers, and today my four children, ranging in age from three- to fifteen-years-old, tried to make a design called Swirls. It calls for clear ornaments and colored finger nail polish. The ornaments were easy to make, kept the kids entertained for over an hour and turned out beautiful. I was very pleased with them and looking forward to trying out more of these crafts. 63 pages. $8.95.
