Put your elves to work on a wreath with a magical snow-and-ice look. Made of plastic bags tied onto a hanger, it's a perfect outdoor decoration.

Materials

• White wire clothes hanger
• Wire cutters
• Needle-nose pliers

• About 100 plastic sandwich bags (the fold-over, not ziplock, kind)
• Bow (see "How to Tie a Triple Bow")

Instructions

1. Form the hanger into a circle, keeping the hook at the top.

2. Using wire cutters, cut the hanger at the bottom center and wrap the ends around each other to form a circle with a 9-inch diameter. Use needle-nose pliers if necessary. Bend the hook down to form a loop for hanging the wreath.

3. Fold a plastic bag in half lengthwise and tie it around the hanger with a single overhand knot. Repeat, pushing the bags together until the circle is full. Add a bow.
