    Recipe Introduction


    Much thanks to the person from the newsletter for

    all these great ideas.

    List of Ingredients




    Craft - Money Trees

    Purchase a plastic tree at a dollar store, some come
    already decorated. Just simply substitute mini
    clothespins (or safety pins) on the branches and
    attach money that way.

    Or
    You could purchase a small ornamental Christmas
    tree with lights already on it. Cut lengths of ribbon
    that go with the color or theme. Roll up money, tie
    a bow on it and attach to tree with the ornament hooks.
    Just remember to turn the lights on and this will look
    really cute.

    Or
    Walk into the woods and find a sturdy branch with
    a lot of leaves on it. Place it in a pot and pour
    in plaster of Paris, or marbles. Place some moss
    you can purchase at any craft store around that.
    Decorate the tree with ribbons to match the theme
    of the occasion it is being used for.
    Fold the money like a fan and tie fast to the "tree"
    with the ribbons. This looked nice.

    Or
    Use a mini Christmas tree and the mini stockings. Just
    stuff the money in the stockings with a little peaking
    out at the top.
    If you like, you can spray the stockings the color you
    need for the theme.

    Or
    Use a garden trellis. Decorate with artificial ivy and
    flowers to match the theme. Hang the money on with
    paperclips or clothespins.

    Or
    For a bridal shower, try using a styrofoam wig head.
    Covered it with fake hair you can get at most craft
    stores. Place a veil on top. Clip money to the veil.

    Or
    For a baby shower, use a plush animal or soft baby
    doll. Cut little white, pink, blue, mint, peach, and
    yellow, (or the color preferred for a girl or boy),
    ribbons. Tie the money on with the ribbons.
