It is often the unexpected and thoughtful gift that brings pleasure to others. For youngsters, the Cookie Tree is fun. The tree itself is cut from a square of white plastic foam which you can get at the variety store or florist shop. First, cut a flat tree shape, then two half trees. These halves can be attached to the flat tree shape with rounded toothpicks to form a four-sided tree. The base is a five inch circle of foam. Attach the assembled tree to the base with toothpicks. Put glitter on the edges of the branches with white plastic glue. Use your favorite cookie mixes or recipes and make the cookies about two inches across or less. Wrap them in transparent plastic wrap, attach a small piece of colorful ribbon to the back of the ^rapped cookie with a bit of cellulose tape. Then arrange cookies on the tree with small pins. The cookies can be removed for eating, yet replacements can be easily attached. The plastic wrap will protect the cookies while they are on the tree and give them a holiday sparkle. Candies can be attractively packaged in small plastic berry boxes. Place a plastic foam snowflake on top, then overwrap the box with plastic wrap. Small fruit cakes can be baked in muffin cups and garnished with candied fruit. When these are wrapped they glisten and give a festive look to your gift. Page Nine dance"-on Friday, Jan. 24.
