crafts for next Christmas

Benton, KY(Zone 7a)

Here's some of my tree ornaments.I got around to taking pictures as I was taking down the tree.

This is a Christmas Spider.Made from beads and wire.The legend goes that the spiders,who were banished from the room as the woman cleaned,wanted to see the Chrstmas tree.They snuck back into the room on Christmas Eve and crawled all over it,enjoying the beautiful decorations,but leaving their webs everywhere.When the Christ Child came to bless the house,He noticed the webs,and as the spiders are God's creatures too,he changed them to gold and silver.That is why we put tinsil on our trees.
