To make gingerbread ornaments, first find a cookie recipe you like. You can sometimes find pre-made cookie dough at the supermarket. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch and using a cookie cutter, press out your shapes.
Use a stick, or straw, to make a hole at the top to thread ribbon to hang your ornament. Bake cookies according to the recipe and when cooled you can paint the cookies to decorate, if you like. For more information look here: http://www.ehow.com/how_11100_make-ginge... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
