Hi @xoMoon! Unfortunately I can't accept this because you have used a screenshot. This is a drawing/craft event so you cannot use existing images. You are welcome to make a new drawing and re-submit if you would like. 🎅
Ahh okay I’ll try drawing something. Thanks for letting me know.
 
Sorry for the mistake the first time! Here is my red balloon ornament re-imagined without the bauble! Materials used: cardboard, paper, red felt, twine, scotch tape (I wish I'd had ribbon and glue lol!) I hope this ornament meets criteria :) Thanks for your patience!

Oh and I also used some cotton batting to poof out the balloon some, I totally forgot to mention that. Sorry! Such great entries from everyone so far :)

P.S. If anyone was curious, I don't have a tree due to the fact that my feline overlords would destroy it xD
I have both a cat and a 🌲 😊 top tip cats hate citronella oil. Put a little on branches or cotton balls. They smell it and run 😂💜
 
ok so uh ........................ i made this as a cursed joke but my artistic levels are below a toddlers

- we also dont have a tree so i made do with our Menorah since it was still lit today so he's kinda vibing there (my cat joined in too you can see her if you look a little above the candles)

Here's my entry :)

I made a perler bead ornament! It's Bulbasaur getting into the Christmas spirit by decorating his bulb as a Christmas tree 🎄
I got inspired online from the template on Pinterest/Etsy here and put my own twist on it by adjusting the colors and adding a sparkly gold ribbon! All materials were craft materials I had on hand and the whole assembly was done by myself! I've been doing perler bead designs for a while to help raise funds for my mom's medical bills (boo cancer) so it was only natural for me to want to assemble a piece for this event!

Everyone has such amazing entries!

We don't have our tree up, because we're moving on 12/31, but this will definitely prop in our tree as an ornament when we put it up! Here, Raymond is getting ready to deliver presents for Toy Day. Yes, RAYMOND! Little did we know, he actually dresses up as Jingle and delivers some of his many 337,405 Bells to all the residents of Woxton!

Reminiscent of the ceramic square ornaments I use to have ages ago. 🌙
Came out unintentionally more on the smaller side; may size it up if needed.

I have accepted your entry but I do have a question. What does ironing achieve: does it melt the beads? It looked like your final product was more 'blurred' (for lack of a better term) than the spoilered image.

Thanks for accepting! So for perler beads you place little plastic beads one by one onto the peg board and iron them so that they do indeed melt and bond together :) I prefer a more smooth finish, so I hold the heat on longer so that the beads blend together more. For a more pixelated look you can leave the heat on less.

That is really interesting! It's not an area of crafts I know much about so this is new for me. Thank you for explaining. 🎅

I used to do those all the time when I was little! Thank you for the bit of nostalgia 🥰
 
Here’s my entry. I’m so glad to be able to draw something with my new iPad. 🥰

I did my best to draw a fancy ornament with a mistletoe on it. Had to redraw it though because my first canvas it was on was too big... What a pain, but the second time came out good. 😉
 
I can't help remembering that year when I crafted plenty of Animal Crossing ornaments for my Christmas tree, (I'm sure you all forgot 🥺😁) Now I'm running in circles wondering what to do 😱
