Vintage Christmas

I have been sorting through some boxes of Christmas things and came across some neat things.....cute little elf on a bell...also has some pretend wind chimes on it......

Back in the day we made these I think in 4-H......tops of cans....painted....then used tin snips to cut and bend to make "chimes" out of it....Imagine now-a-days it wouldn't be an approved activity...but I don't remember any of us getting cut working on these...





Santa wrapping paper.....




Two old corsages....





Bells made out of some kind of sugar stuff...surprised they aren't melted since they were being stored in the dungeon...






Neat little wreaths I remember us using at home....







Two homemade ornaments...one a glittered sycamore ball, complete with stem....the other a bunch of little pictures we cut out of Christmas cards, folded and glued together then adorned with glitter (of course!) No idea on where the Santa pin came from .......


It was fun to look through things we have used in the past to decorate with....
