Oh the memories that brings out.  Two twisted coathangers, entwined 
with tinsel, I am old enough to remember the first time that 
happened!

We made one just like it at school too.  

What about the Blue Peter Christmas appeal.  In their causes, I have 
knitted blanket squares, collected foil milk bottle tops, used 
stamps, old clothes...

I have made Christmas decorations out of washing up liquid cartons, 
sticky backed plastic... Oh, hell, I'm showing my age!
