COLLECTORS CORNER

TIPS
Take a small piece of plain wrapping paper from any holiday wrapping paper, cut a small piece about 2"x1½".
   Roll it so it's still 2" inches long and glue it. For ribbons, take an old bow and take it apart. Then take a 3" piece
   and cut it lengthwise straight. so you have small strips of ribbons. Leave the mess on a table in your dollhouse
   and maybe wrap one little shape as a gift!

Make a tiny Christmas tree using a pine cone. Trim it with pruning shears to the shape that you desire.
   Decorate with sequins and beads.
