DIY Christmas Gifts for the Holidays! By maria galo

For a single hot cocoa jar, pour these ingredients into the jar in this order: powdered milk, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, chips, candies, marshmallows. (Before starting a new layer, tap the jar on your work surface to level the ingredient)
Put the lid on the mason jar
Decorate the jar with the ribbon and create your own directions tag!

[Reference: “Directions: Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and add hot water!”]

Take a regular-sized candy bar, flip over to the backside, and attach two candy canes to each side with tape or hot glue, hook side down.
When done, flip over and place 6-10 mini candy bars in a pyramid on top of the sleigh behind the cane hooks, leaving a small space in front. Glue them in position.
Place and glue a character chocolate in front of the pyramid.
{Optional} Tie a ribbon or add a bow on top and you’ve got a sweet sleigh!

Lightly with a pencil, trace on one paper fourteen 1-in squares, and on the other trace fourteen 1.5-in squares. Cut them out.
To form the petals, fold one corner over, then fold the opposite corner as shown. Secure these two corners together with a dab of glue and repeat with all other squares.
With spare paper (or something a bit more sturdy like cardstock), cut out a circle with a 2-in diameter and mark the center with the pencil
Cut-out a 4-in ribbon and glue one end on each side, this will be a hanger.
Working in small sections, apply a line of glue between the middle and outer edge of the cutout, and start attaching the bigger petals on.
Repeat this process with the smaller petals; layer them in between the big petals.
The last thing to add is an embellishment in the middle to make this ornament shine! This can be a store-bought tag or you could make one of your own.
