Hi Just Us Four readers, my name is Alanna and I blog at Alanna George | The Craft Nest. My website is a craft site for families and my posts center around kid’s craft ideas, sewing projects, handmade gifts and advent activities that are family friendly. I would love for you to stop by and visit my site. I have a lot going on my website this holiday season. Come for a visit and I am sure you can find something to create with your kids or a gift you can make for someone special!

I love to help my kids create handmade gifts to give at the holidays. This project is just right for the younger set and perfect to gift to an Aunt or Uncle. It’s simple and doesn’t take many supplies, plus it is cute enough to hang on the tree. I often see necklaces that feature peas in a pod that use the number of peas for how many children you have. I thought it would be fun to make a pea in a pod ornament like that too. So let’s get started!

Supplies:

Green Pom Pom Balls
Milkweed Pod
Ribbon
Craft Glue

How To:

1. Glue appropriate number of Pom Pom Balls inside milkweed pod. If you just picked the pods you may need to let them dry out for a day or so.

2. Loop and knot ribbon. Glue knot of ribbon to top of milkweed pod.

3. Wrap in cute packaging and give to your favorite person!
