Crafty at heart, but when it comes to ideas, I'm stuck.?

Can you get walnut shells to make ornaments from? Crack the nuts carefully so they open in two pieces, preferably along the natural seam. Remove the nutmeats and save that for your holiday baking. Fold a small piece of yarn or ribbon in half and stick the loop out of the shell (to attach a hook to it) when you glue the shell back together. Plain old white glue is the best for this. Can you have a special session with a couple of the oldest girls? If so, they might enjoy cracking the nuts and gluing the shells back together. Once they're dried thoroughly, attach an ornament hook to each one. Then, let all the girls decorate them. Glitter is a favorite material for this, of course.
