Banner by Cardinal Biggles! Enter your homemade crafts in this contest and win! |
The Categories http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.or...owflake_50.jpg http://nailsandbakes.files.wordpress...icon.jpg?w=490 http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.or...owflake_50.jpg Winter Wonders These are items that fit within the classic Winter theme. They'll typically involve snow (real or fake!), snowflakes, ice, and anything that's freezing cold. If you're lucky enough to have real snow sitting outside your house, then feel free to arrange it into an amusing or beautiful shape. Yet if you're not so lucky, fake snow and ice can work in a pinch. Suggestions: Paper snowflakes, styrofoam snowmen, and frozen ice vases http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.or...owflake_50.jpg http://nailsandbakes.files.wordpress...icon.jpg?w=490 http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.or...owflake_50.jpg Household Decorations Are you proud of a table spread or decorated Christmas tree? Submit it here! This category is intended for all decorations that are displayed within your home for a cozy, festive feel. Suggestions: Homemade wreaths, tablecloths, and Christmas lights http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.or...owflake_50.jpg http://nailsandbakes.files.wordpress...icon.jpg?w=490 http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.or...owflake_50.jpg Festive Fruits Decorated oranges have long been a part of Christmas traditions. Brighten up your breakfast table with some fancy fruits! Note: This category does not include all foods. It is limited only to decorating fruits, such as clove oranges. You may use other fruits and citrus if oranges are not available to you.

I am totally hitting this up! (because I'm broke and will, primarily, be hand making Christmas gifts this year) ^.^;
|
Hooray! I need to make some myself. [lol] No idea what I'd make though.
|
Can we enter a christmas trees that we decorate?
|
If you handmade the tree and/or the ornaments, then yes. There needs to be some element of crafting in there for it to count. [yes]
|
I could try this! [wha] I just can't decide which one I should entry...
|
Ooo this is new. I like this idea.
|
Ah... so would my Rudolph ornament count?
|
Sounds like it could go under "household Decorations" to me. *nods*
|
Yep! As long as you made the ornament yourself, then it would definitely count. [yes]
|
All of this is so nice, the moderators work so hard to make a nice event, it's so lovely!
|
Ooh, I am going to enter my Christmas tree. xD And enter the Winter Wonders contest. Those two for sure.
<3 |
Awesome i'd love to enter these:
Deck the Halls! Category: Gifts Description: Snowflake Earrings Entry: http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps6f43792c.jpg I'm actually making them as Christmas presents for family ^_^ These Pair are for my aunty Jen (excuse the random red bead in the background i missed one when i cleaned of the bench xD I have beads EVERYWHERE from these lol) |
I'll have something shortly. I've got to finish them, and will be taking a picture to put up.
This one is right up my alley. I love to knit. |
Knerd: HIM maded someone something but it's already gone so can HIM post the picture of the proper one and take a photo of the one HIM buggared up with the username on ?
|
Lucky for me I made some freakin' amazing paper snowflakes a few days ago :'3
|
Would it count if I put together something together? I arranged the elements but did not really make it... (its a wreath of a sort)
|
So.. I tried the orange thing. SO not happy with it. I'll have to try again tomorrow. Its such sticky work because the orange squirts everywhere. XD
|
Nephila what's with the decorative orange thing?
|
Awesome, we have our first entry! I've gone ahead and updated the front page with it. [yes]

But this contest will be open for a while, are you sure there's no way to get a photo of the original? If you mailed it out, ask you friend to get a picture when it arrives! Quote:
You made a wreath? Or you took a wreath and beautified it? As long as you were involved in crafting the item and you personally worked on it to achieve the finished product, then it could probably count as a household decoration. |
