A kissing ring for a doorway can be made by covering two embroidery hoops with ribbon or tinsel. Place them at right angles to each other and add a bell, ball ornament or sprig of mistletoe inside. Attach a bow at the bottom if you wish. Instead of embroidery hoops, you may use can rings painted with gilt paint. Evergreen branches can be used in many ways. Have you ever tried covering the wood molding about a door with them? Or bending a wire coat hanger into a circle and attaching evergreen to it to form a wreath? You can add ball ornaments or bright cranberries to brighten it a bit. Then how about decorating your windows and mirrors. rnttnn wtaitf* snrav r-?r whito paper snowflakes always look pretty. But if there is an artist in your family, why not have him paint a scene of a jolly Santa on a window or mirror with tempera paints? REAL CLASS!
