Cute, Cheap Christmas Craft

I recently went to a Friends of the Public Library book sale and picked up an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from the early 1990's.  In it was such a cute ornament made from peppermints. 

You take five or six pepperments and put them in a tart pan (which I bought for $.10 on a clearance rack at the Corning Ware store) and melt them in there for 4 to 5 minutes in a 325 degree oven.  You just stick a cuticle stick in the top to make a hole for hanging.  Let it cool down a bit, press it out of the tart pan and stick a little bow on it and there you have it. 

I'll be hitting the after Halloween clearance sale for 75% off peppermints!   Cute and frugal!
