The Dollar Nut
Carefully clean out the insides of a walnut, place a folded up dollar bill inside and glue the shells back together. Glue a string loop at the top and hang them on the tree. When children come to visit, let them choose a dollar nut from the tree. Other things you could put in there: a charm, a miniature, a pair of earrings, a tiny china figurine, a necklace chain or bracelet, coins.
