Shaped Birdseed for Your Branches
GH says: “Don’t forget the trees outside. A frozen treat attracts blue jays and goldfinches even in the wintertime, but the cookie-cutter shape looks at home indoors too.”
The supplies you’ll need are twine, a bird-shaped cookie cutter (optional shape) and bird seed.
Our Military Spouse idea: Use a cookie cutter shape that matches your branch, such as an anchor.
GH says, “Show off your favorite holiday tune by displaying the sheet music in the form of a star. Place a small bow in the middle for an added accent.”
To complete this design, you will need cardboard, sheet music, twine and a ribbon.
Our Military Spouse idea: Use sheet music that represents your branch, such as “The Wild Blue Yonder”.
GH says, “Use this monogrammed Christmas ball as a holiday tradition-starter: Have each member of your family make and hang their personalized ornament.”
All you need is a plain, pretty ornament and a gold paint pen.
Our Military Spouse idea: Write out the rank and name of your military servicemember.
