Fun christmas crafts on a budget??

[playfelt]

One I am hoping to do is to colour rice green and then cut wreath shapes from cardstock - they will just paint the wreath with glue then turn it upside down in the dish of rice. Then glue on a bow tied from ribbon. It will only be about 4" across so still small enough to go on the tree.

If it goes over well then doing the same with red and making a bell is a possibility too. Then when done mix whatever rice is left and another day do ornament shapes.

Means cost for three crafts is two cups of rice and a dab of food colouring/alchol.
