Using dough is one of the simplest - and cheapest - ways to make your own ornaments.\nThings You'll Need \n1 c. salt \n4 c. all-purpose flour \n1 1/2 c. warm water \nInstructions \nSTEP 1: Mix salt and flour together. Add water. STEP 2: Knead dough until smooth. The dough should be very stiff. Add more flour if it's too sticky. STEP 3: Roll dough out and cut out ornaments with cookie cutters, or cut out your own figures and shapes by hand. STEP 4: Push a straw, pen or other thin object through ornament at top to make a hole for hanging. STEP 5: Bake ornaments for 1 hour in oven at low setting. STEP 6: Allow to cool. STEP 7: Decorate. You can paint ornaments with watercolors or other type of paint, or use colored markers. Be creative. STEP 8: Coat ornaments when dry with a clear protective coating. STEP 9: Put ornament hanger or ribbon through hole and hang. Tips & Warnings \nMaking your own ornaments adds a personal touch to Christmas. Plus, it's something the whole family can have fun doing. \nAlthough nontoxic, the dough is extremely salty and is not suitable for eating. \nDecorated ornaments may be toxic and should not be eaten.

Depending on how much you are looking to spend, here are some idea's.\n\n1- buy some premade cookie dough (get two kinds), two bags of chocolate chips, 1 bag of small pretzal twists or large pretzal rods, and some cute tins or plates at the dollar store.   Bake the cookies, but make the cookies smaller than normal sized, to get more cookies from each log.   Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (or stick a small pot in a larger pot which should have water in it). Once it's melted, dip the pretzals in it, and let them cool on a sheet of wax paper. Arrange a few cookies, and some pretzals on each plate. You can add a handful of Christmas candy and a candy cane to the top, too. \n\n2- Go to Wal-Mart, get some glass vases or -large- glass candle holders, a few bags of potpourrie, and some strands of 20 count Christmas Lights. There are $1.00 bags of potpourrie there in the same aisle as the candle holders & vases, in crafts. The vase I used cost $1.97, and the lights are $.97. Put some of the lights in the vase, then add potpourrie, the put more of the lights in, then potpourrie. Repeate until you have all the lights in the vase. Leave the cord hanging out, though, and either tape it to the glass, or tie a ribbon around the holder to tie it into place. When plugged in, the lights heat the potpourrie, and they smell wonderful, any time of the year. Cost- $4.00 each.  Alternativly, I found slightly smaller vases at Dollar Tree yesterday, $1.00 each. I found much bigger bags of potpourrie for $1.00 as well, and sets of 35 lights for $1.00 each. For $5.00, I was able to buy 2 lights, 2 vases, and 1 potpourrie, so I made them for $2.50 each. I use these year round in my bathrooms as night lights & air freshners. \n\n3- A gift card for $5-10 for a local video store, one of those buckets of microwave popcorn, a box or two of "movie theater" candy (which can be aquired for $1.00/box at both Dollar Tree & Walgreens), and a soda or two. Or, to up the price a bit more, get a Popcorn style bowl for the popcorn, and some matching cups for the soda. Exchange a bucket for a box of microwave popcorn- movie theater style with extra butter!\n\n4. Gift cards for McDonalds- who doesn't stop to eat out once in a while?\n\n5. Get a gift card to a local pizza place, a gift card to the local video rental place, and a set of cute plastic plates & cups to eat & drink from.\n\n6. Hit Dollar Tree for lots of small things, and make gift baskets- candles, tree ornaments, bath products, small toys, candy, dishes, music CD's and so much more. You can get a handful of several different things, and personalize each basket.\n\n7. Get stuff for a game night- a fun adult type board game (like Battle of the Sexes, Scattergories, Taboo, etc), a deck or two of cards, and a bag of potato chips, as well as a bowl to put them in. For kids, get a kid board game, and a deck of kid card games, like go fish.\n\nHope some of those idea's help!

Last year I made a jello cake, make a white cake, bake it and after it is cool, poke holes in it with a straw.  Then make a batch of red or blue jello (all of the hot water on the recipe and 1/2 of the cold water), then pour it gently into the holes.  Refrigerate until the jello is set (a few hours) and top with cool whip and either strawberries or blueberries.  \n\nOR for a non-refrigerated idea, make spritz cookie dough and run it thru a cookie press with the blade that has a long slit with one smooth edge and one jagged edge.  When the cookie dough comes out it will be like a ribbon.  Shoot these right onto a cookie sheet and then cut them into the dimensions of a flag.  Use red sugar and sprinkle them over the "stripes" in the dough.  Leave a little room in the corner for blue sugar.  They really look like little flags after you cook them.  And they are delicious.  Use your favorite spritz dough or email me for mine.\nHappy 4th!

no styrofoam??? aww that ruins some of the fun! i love crafty projects tho. okay you can use bakeable clay. it comes in a variety of colors and can be molded into many shapes. i would suggest working from the inside out and making it into a circle with a pie shaped cutout in it so you can see inside. basically you would make the clay figure and then bake it. you can spray it with a glossy finish and tadaa! oh, and to hang it from the ceiling? i guess you would need to screw in a metal hook beforehand. good luck!!

I'm sure that there  are many different ways. I work in a bakery, and this is how we make sesame bagels. Before putting the dough in the oven, we spray the bagels slightly with water. Then we dip the bagels in the seeds and put them in the oven. They come out perfect.

Ornaments typically come in boxes or you can locate one with little difficulty. Even a gift bag would work with lots of tissue for padding.

I've seen them made out of wooden matchsticks, and they were pretty nice. If you use tin cans, you would need a pair of tin snips and you'd need to cut into the sides of the can to bring out the blades of the fan on the windmill. I've posted some links to different tin can crafts sites for you. Good luck!
