    Default I Finally Finished My Bread Tie Garland

    For the last 3 years, I have saved the colored bread ties from our bread....and each year, the kids & I have had fun making a garland for the Christmas tree...adding to it each year. Well, its finally finished and it doesn't look as silly as I thought that it might

    Thanks for the idea. That really is clever and I'm sure it was great fun to do. I hope I remember this idea for when I want to use it. I save the little twist ties, but so far only a few at a time.

    What a fun idea - talk about tradition!! What are you going to do next?

    I love this! How great. I was saving the ties, but never use them, so started throwing them away. I am not sure I could save for three years. Maybe these could go on my DH's tree (a smaller version). Thanks so much!

    Hmmmm....I don't know. Since we'll be opening presents tonight, I might surprise the kids with something else in the morning. I'll probably hang candy canes as ornements on the tree (alot of people do that)...and I was thinking about clothepinning a dollar on the tree for each child - something that they're not expecting

    That is SUCH a clever idea! I remember you posting about it last year (?) and wondering what it looked like. It turned out great!

    I don't think I could get that many bread ties saved before my cats run off with them. Not to mention they would make the tree even more irresistible to them
