The Categories




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



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



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. If you want to cook your food and serve up some tasty dishes, then check out Iku's Contest instead!



The Glory of Gifts

All crafts in this category must be given away as gifts! If you handmade a present for anyone this year, then take a photo and submit it. Crafting your gifts shows that you care about a person enough to dedicate hours and hours of your time to their gift. When submitting entries here, please mention who you gave the gift to!

Suggestions: Knitted scarves, hand drawn cards, and painted mugs

Didin't know what I could buy OR make that would be meaningful AND be appropriate for opening in front of his parents (hopefully this is the last time that's a concern). Then I found this necklace on Etsy - the pendant is a vial of moon dust. But the chain it came with - a simple, thin cable chain - didn't really feel right, and it DEFINITELY seemed too thin and delicate for him to be accepting in front of his parents. So I stopped to think what I could do with it, and then I found these nice onyx and silver beads.
The pendant took a long time to arrive, though. I started to panic. I wanted the whole thing to be a surprise, and it wouldn't be if I had to mess with it on Christmas Eve or, well, today. So in fact, today, it arrived...in two parts.
This is why the ring in the middle. I needed a way to slip the focal piece on when it arrived while still letting me make it ahead of time. We've both agreed, though, that it actually looks better this way too, in our opinions.
This is probably the gift I am most proud of giving, ever.
Entry:


^ I like these two photos because they let you clearly see one of the inclusions in the beads. When it comes to semi-precious stones, we're both a lot more fond of included ones - gives them more character. Can you tell one of the classes we took together was geology?

^ Couldn't figure out where to put the name label, but you can tell it's the same item, right?

We've been friends for almost a decade now and we have a tradition of making each other special gifts for the holidays. She loves blues and greens and purples, so I used those colors as the base (though it's hard to tell in some of the pictures). I decided to add some peacock feathers because she loves those too =^_^=

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.

As long as its obvious that the two items were made the same way and that you're capable of making the "good" one.

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!

I....don't understand what you're talking about.
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.
