If you are like me, you adore Christmas ornaments and look for new ones every year even though you have a ton of them already. But I bet I have some you have never seen before. They are salt and pepper shakers. Salt and Pepper Shaker Christmas Ornaments You will need: 1 set of salt and pepper shakers (I bought mine at a local dollar store) Ribbon of your choice Sissors Needlenosed Pliers Directions: Cut a length of ribbon to fit inside salt and pepper shakers through holes. Pull out plug on bottom. Push ribbon into two holes of each shaker. Use pliers if necessary to pull ribbon out of the bottom of the shakers. Tie a large knot (several if needed) and stuff ribbon back inside shakers. Pull ribbon up from top of shakers and replace plug in bottom. Pretty simple, huh? They are really pretty cute. I made a set of Santas and a set of Snowmen last year. |

I have been doing this too long
 If you picture GLASS salt and pepper shakers, it should help! The ribbon fills the s+p pots and the hanger is formed by the ribbon coming out the holes. The glass distorts the ribbon and can be very effective. Hope this helps. Virginia, I would have thought the pot pourri (for non allergic friends) would work very well, with the aroma coming out the holes. |
