The Three Wise Men made quite an impression on Ward when he was a boy, and he always watched for the Christmas Star each year...Delightful Margaret Perry hardcover book with instructions for making over a hundred memorable Christmas decorations and ornaments. With over 200 illustrations by the author, 45 in full color, this big 192 page book provides easy to follow directions for making a wide variety of holiday tree-hangers, jewelry, mobiles and other Holiday table and window decorations. Children will especially enjoy making animals and buildings for an entire Christmas village. Both youngsters and their parents will be intrigued with Ms. Perry's recommendations for making Christmas wrappings and posters with cut-out figures from last-year's Christmas greeting cards. The more ambitious Christmas craftsperson can make mobiles of floating fish, flying birds, Christmas balls, and Angels. There are fresh ideas for window, doorway, and table decorations in 'Christmas Magic'. Also included are complete directions for making an Advent calendar as well as Christmas pins and earrings out of evergreens, cranberries, bells, and glitter. There are even directions for making a Swedish Lucia Crown...the projects are simply amazing!
