Christmas Bells

• Paint a Communion cup white with an acrylic paint. After the paint dries, paint red berries and green holly leaves on the outside. Cut a 2-inch-long length of string and place one end of the string through a small bell and tie the ends of the string into knots. Glue the end of the string into the cup, allowing the bell to freely hang just to the rim of the cup. Glue a 2-inch plastic straw into the base of the bell to use as a handle for ringing the bell.
  
  

Daffodil Refrigerator Magnet

• Each craft will require one whole cup and one half cup (the base of the cup) to complete. Paint both of these with yellow acrylic paint. After they are dry, have the children make vertical cuts through the whole cup to look like flower petals. They should not cut all the way through, but instead they should bend the petals back to form the base. Glue the half-cup in the center of this cup and allow children to place a photo into the half-cup. Glue a magnet to the back and let the craft dry.
  
  

Angel Ornament

• Make angel ornaments with Communion cups by painting the insides of several with gold acrylic paint. Turn them over and they become the angels' skirts. Paint small, wooden crafts balls with a flesh-colored acrylic paint to make the heads of the angels. Glue a head onto each skirt with a hot-glue gun. Twist pieces of gold pipe cleaners to make halos and glue one to each angel's head. Make wings out of card stock and glue on the back. Draw faces on the angels with markers or paint.
  
  

Tree Ball

• Use Communion cups and polystyrene foam balls to make ornaments that shine when placed near tree lights. Tie a ribbon into a loop and glue it to a foam ball. Using a dressmaker pin, stick it through the hole on any type of sequins. Stick the pin through the bottom of the Communion cup. After this, attach the foam ball to the pin. Repeat this many times until the ball is totally covered with Communion cups and it becomes a beautiful Christmas ornament.
