These handpainted clothing pins look like a fun activity for children and parents. Also you can look at http://www.playhousegifts.com/home for similar handcrafted christmas decorations created in Germany by Steinbach and Ino Schaller. You will find wood nutcrackers and Paper Mache Candy Containers.
If you are looking for an inexpensive and simple idea for a Christmas craft the children in your ministry could make for their parents, for shut-ins, for the Senior Citizens in your church, or for ???? - check out this great idea for clothespin ornaments! This is an ornament idea which children canmake . . . even younger ones can paint - or color with permanent ink markers - and you'll end up with something cute which will look even cuter on the tree!

All you need are some spring clothespins, paint - or permanent ink markers and creativity and voila! You'll have great ornaments which will make excellent gifts!
