Anybody got an idea for a craft I can make that will result in a tree topper? Last year I wired a stuffed octopus to the top of my tree, and while I did enjoy it, the toy wasn’t meant as a tree topper and was constantly sagging or falling down off the tree. I need an idea for something I can make. Nothing too country cottage, either.
Ideas? Mel, I’m looking at you.
Martha has a neat (and easy) one here: http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=e91852a59a62f010VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&rsc=also_try_p9
Also some ideas here: http://www.christmaslightsanddecorations.com/diy-christmas-tree-toppers.aspx
I’m probably just going to buy something (because I am lazy).
so many possibilities.

Or, if you wanted something more squidtastic, you could print out color pictures of your favorite squids, and use them to make a 3D pointed star with a different squid for each face. http://bobscrafts.com/bobstuff/star.htm

A version of this with prettier paper is also promising…
