Christmas Sandwiches Toothpick Decor

Created these Clean & Simple Christmas Toothpick decorations for Party Finger Sandwiches I took to a Stampin' Up Christmas party.

Made the Christmas toothpick decorations using Stampin' Up: cardstock (scraps, good way to use them up), glue dots and Merry Minis Punch Pack.


Recipe for the Party Finger Sandwiches is from Cooks.com which you can see here and here:

PARTY FINGER SANDWICHES
2 sm. cans chunk chicken or ham 1 med. onion, chopped 1 sm. can crushed pineapple 1/2 c. pecans, chopped 1/2 c. celery, chopped 1/2 c. mayonnaise Combine all ingredients. Take 18 slices of bread and cut the crust off. Make 9 sandwiches and cut them each into 4 squares. Makes 36 finger sandwiches.

I used Hormel Chunk Chicken and substituted walnuts for pecans. Have made these sandwiches several times and they are yummy.
