9 diy Christmas ornaments from the kitchen

Roll and squeeze an 8-inch piece aluminum foil into a thin rope. Shape into a candy cane and tie a ribbon around it.

Cut 1 piece paper towel into thin strips. Gather the strips together in a neat pile on a flat surface, then tie the center together with string; fluff and trim as needed. Just make sure it does not touch any Christmas lights when hanging.

Skewer a few pieces of candy onto 1 toothpick -- I used green Dots to make an abstract Christmas tree ornament. Tie with metallic string to hang.

Flatten 1 colorful cupcake liner with your hands or press under heavy cookbooks. Punch a hole in the liner using a toothpick or skewer; thread a ribbon through and tie in a loop to hang.

Unwrap 1 tea bag. Tie a ribbon around the string to decorate, then tie to the tree to hang. Bonus: It smells amazing!

Wrap kitchen twine around your hand to make a wreath (the more you wrap, the thicker your wreath will be). Tie ribbon around the cut ends to secure, then hang on the tree.

Fold 1 aluminum cupcake liner into eighths. Snip the folded edges in a few places with scissors, then unfold and tie string through a hole to hang.

Fill 1 tea strainer with large dragées or sprinkles, if desired. Tie ribbon around the chain to decorate, then hang on the tree.

Tie ribbon around your prettiest flatware (something small, like 1 butter knife, works best) to secure, then hang on the tree.
