Homemade Gag Gifts

BELLY BUTTON DUSTER.

Take a sparkly pipe cleaner, cut in half, glue a cotton ball on one end and a small bunch of flowers with bow on the other end.

BELLY BUTTON BRUSH (here's another version)

You need: any color pipe cleaner, long bead, cardboard stock printing paper, small piece of wood (optional). Cut pipe cleaner in 3" sections. Take one end and push down into bead. Roll remaining pipecleaner into a circle. (The bead & pipe cleaner now look like a small toilet brush.)

MORE INSTRUCTIONS: For the belly button duster and brush. Make a matched set with small dowel rods about 9" long and use the pipe cleaner coiled for a brush end. Wrap it to the rod with a small piece of pipe cleaner. Glue a white pom,pom to the other rod. For handles, use some old ball point pens, remove the inside and unscrew them. They work on the dowels. Put a little glue in them to hold then on.

Fish Seeds
It's known you like to fish alot,
your line dropped in the water.

so you can't catch what you oughter!
When these times come, just grab

, then raise them til they fit the size
your best "fish stories" need!

White beans that have black spots painted on them in a small bag. Attach a card that has a picture of a cow and reads "Herd Starter Kit" the back reads...

To start your own herd, plant the seeds in a warm spot right side up (you don't want the cows to grow upside down, do you? Be patient, it takes a long time to start your own herd. For best results, moo softly while watering.

SANTA SOCK

Put an old work sock (complete with holes!) in a zip-lock, and then attach this poem:

"Official Santa Sock"
My puppy must have stolen it
On last year's Christmas Eve.
I hope that Santa's toes weren't froze
When he had to leave.
I'm passing it along to you
As quiet as a mouse!
And THIS year if he's lookin' for it
IT WON'T BE AT MY HOUSE!!!!
