You Can Make Ornaments
From Tin Cans And Eggs
BINGHAMPTON, N. Y. W) —
Those tin cans and egg shells you
toss out could become Christmas
ornaments with a little imagina
tion.
Armed with a few of her hus
band’s household tools, Mrs. John
Harasta makes tree decorations,
wreaths and egg shell tableaux
for her family and friends
Uses a Pattern
Plying tin shears, needle-nose
pliers, hammer, ice pick and ruler,
Mrs. Harasta designs stars, bells,
fern, feathers, rosettes, mobiles,
crosses, framed Christmas cards
and angels.
She makes a pattern on paper,
draws it in pencil on the can lids,
and cuts it out. With the pliers,
she prods the curled tin into de
sired shape.
Mrs. Harasta makes bells by
crimping lids of assorted size and
stringing cord through the center
holes (punched with the ice pick).
A bead on a cord is the clapper.
A large lid makes a good angel.
Star points are cut for wings, a
lid is bent to the shape of a skirt.
The head is a ping pong ball and
the hah: is yarn. Paint in the fea
tures. The ice pick and hammer
will tap out a design on the skirt.
Wire at the Window
Some ornaments are several lids
wired together.
The Harasta windows have been
skillfully decorated with chicken
wire painted white and strung with
colored ornaments.
Mrs. Harasta, who says she keep3
so busy she has no time to be
bored, has painted the lids, but she
prefers the natural gilt and silver
tones.
The foundation for wreaths is a
large juice can painted green and

snipped to resemble evergreen.
Isn't snipping tin dangerous?
Mrs. Harasta says, “A good pair
of shears will not leave sharp
edges.”
Prefers Duck Eggs
Ohicken or duck eggs make good
tree ornaments but Mrs. Haresta
prefers the larger duck eggs. She
cuts a hole in the egg and snips
away enough so that the yolk may
be removed. The shell is trimmed
so that the opening is about one
third the size of the shell. Paint the
shell with enamel or luminous
paint or nail polish and sprinkle
with glitter for a jewel-like effect.
Fill the shell hole with tiny fig
ures or scenes from cards. A layer>
of polyethelyne-type food wrap
seals the opening Dip the egg in
hot water about one-eighth of an
inch beyond the opening to smooth
the wrap. Add sequins, lace, beads
or ruffles, then glue on ribbon loop
tree hangers.
