1. Start by outlining the Foam Shapes (Stocking, Star, Hearts, etc) with Sharpie Markers. We used a Large Red Stocking Foam Shapes. Make lines, dots, or a combination of both around the edge of the foam shape. Any permanent marker will work on craft foam. Just give it a few seconds to completely dry so it doesn't smear.
2. Next, wrap the foam shape about 4 times with matching Baker's Twine and tie a bow in the front of the shape. Then, attach a small piece of baker's twine for hanging.
3. Personalize shapes with child's name, the date, or words like ~ Joy, Peace, Hope, Wish, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc. Hang on your tree and enjoy!
4. This technique works great for Star and Heart Ornaments too! Choose your foam shape and simply wrap with bakers twine and hang.
