Challenge #2

Make a Christmas Ornament!

Yep, we want you to get out all of your art supplies and make an ornament. If you do not celebrate Christmas, that's ok. You can still make a similiar craft. We want to see your creativity really come alive for this challenge. What can you come up with to make an ornament out of? Here are some pictures of ornaments that Nessa and her brother have made for this challenge.

This is the first ornament Nessa made a few weeks ago when she came up with this idea for the challenge. She made this out of a corkboard coaster. She said that after Christmas was over, she would put her favorite picture from this year on the front.
It just so happens that Nessa and her brother are in a contest at their school for the best handmade ornaments this week. They both chose to make one out of paintbrushes. Nessa came up with this idea. She made hers into a Christmas tree.
Here is her brother's. He made his brush into a reindeer...or Rudolph more specifically!

Now let's see what you can do! We have decided to hold 2 challenges per month starting this month. So you have until December 15th to get in your ornament submissions. We will post the winner and the next challenge on December 16th. Remember that you can email your submissions to either Nessa or Nessa's Mom at the email addresses over on the sidebar. You may also leave a link to yours in the comment section. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
