The First Day of Catmas

It's finally here! The First Day of Catmas is upon us!

And we've all been involved in a flurry of wild preparation.

Our first "volunteer" for this year's photo shoot was Molester, renamed Miss Kitty by my mother who has been ignoring all evidence to the contrary.

Personally, I like the results.

Now, gift number one is an easy and quick little bauble with a ton of sparkle and a tiny price tag.

You'll need a clear glass ornament, some plastic beads in your choice of colors, one special bead to dangle, a scrap of wire and some ribbon.

Step One: remove the hanger and put a few beads inside the ornament.

Step Two: Replace the hanger and twist the wire through the hanging loop.

Step Three: Dangle the featured bead, in this case a starfish, from the wire.

Step Four: Beribbon the hanger.

This should jazz up any tree or lend a bit of glitz hanging in a window.

And for less than $1? Why arrive empty handed?
