Make a Pretty Package
Striped straws are a sweet candy cane look alike.
Bend two paper straws in half.
Wire the bent straws together in the middle,
forming a long X.
Wire two more bent straws to the middle,
forming a star shape.
Glue a piece of fringe garland to the star center
(Quick-setting gel glue works best.)
Tie onto package.

Add A Tag
Stick red and white glitter tapes
(available in crafts stores))
diagonally across a manila shipping tag.
Cut the white tape in half vertically
for narrower stripes.
