These 'cupcakes' would look scrumptious hanging on anyone's tree.

Cupcake Ornament

Materials

• Large, Red Christmas Ball
• Hot Glue Gun with Hot Glue
• Cupcake Wrapper
• 1 Container Sno-Tex with butter knife
• Small, Red Christmas Ball
• Assortment of Small Beads

Instructions

1. Take the hot glue gun, and make a circle of glue in the bottom of the cupcake wrapper. Neatly stick the large Christmas ball to the wrapper, with the hook side of the ornament facing up.
2. If the Christmas ball is too small for the cupcake wrapper, hot glue the sides of the wrapper neatly onto the sides of the ball.
3. Using the butter knife, apply the Sno-Tex to the top of the ornament. Put enough Sno-Tex to make the ornament resemble a cupcake.
4. Stick the small Christmas ball to the top of the ornament. (If the Sno-Tex is sticky, no glue should be needed for this.)
5. Sprinkle as many small beads to the top of the ornament as desired.
