MATERIALS Styrofoam Plate Yarn in several colors Template (available online) Large Needle  INSTRUCTIONS Decide what design you would like to create in your frame. Make a rough sketch. (Flower design available online at https://www.dropbox.com/s/48buklcj534ye0n/Flower Pattern.pdf) Lay design over top of plate, tape edges down. Using needle, poke holes evenly around design, making sure to go all the way through the paper and the Styrofoam plate. Remove design from plate. Thread your needle and tie a knot. Come up one hole from the back of the plate and down the next hole.  Up and down until each design is created. Tie a knot on the back when  each color is finished.

INGREDIENTS Jumbo Pitted Black Olives Medium Pitted Black Olives Soft Cream Cheese One Can of Sliced Carrots • Cheese knife Toothpicks  DIRECTIONS Cut the jumbo olive lengthwise to create the slit that will become the tuxedo shirt. Using a small cheese knife, fill the tummy of the penguin with cream cheese.  This may work best if the cream cheese is at room temperature. Wipe the excess cream cheese off the olive with a damp cloth or sponge. Cut a wedge out of a carrot slice to create feet. We used canned carrots because they are not too hard. Place the small carrot wedge in the opening of the medium olive to create a beak. Assemble the penguin by pushing a toothpick through the head, body, and feet.  Place your completed penguins on a serving tray.

INGREDIENTS Mini Powdered Sugar Donuts Bamboo Skewers Regular and Mini Chocolate Chips Mike and Ikes® Red Yarn  DIRECTIONS Line up three donuts like a snowman body. Push bamboo skewer through the donuts from the bottom. Add regular chocolate chips to bottom two donuts for buttons. Add mini chocolate chips to the top donut for eyes  and mouth. Add an orange Mike and Ike® for the nose. Tie the red yarn under the top donut as a scarf. [[image]]
