I just posted this to the Craft Mutiny Blog, but wanted to post it here too!

I have been asking everyone, "Are you making ornaments for our Craft Mutiny Ornament Drive?" And I usually hear, "Um. I don't make ornaments." Dude, I would have said that 4 months ago, too. I have actually never had a Christmas tree in my house as an adult. I wasn't sure if it was laziness or what, but never have. The traditional ornaments and holiday decorations just doesn't appeal to me. They are still in the realm of "country crafts" and that just blah. So I decided to turn the holiday ornament on its head with my line of Zombie Plague Ornaments, see:






And then, I started making the Creepy Santa Head ornament:





See, with some felt and imagination, the possibilities are totally endless. I say, let's make our own, new, modern holiday traditions. There is no reason why zombies can't be the new mascot for the holidays? Who knows, 50 years from now, Christmas could be about worrying about the zombie apocalypse. Wouldn't that be fun!?


So don't tell me you don't make ornaments! Everyone has their own idea of what the holidays should look like, so show us yours! We are taking donations of both traditional and non-traditional ornaments at our Holiday Booty Market on December 15th. Bring 1-5 ornaments to our show, ready to sell. Put them on our tree and we will sell them and donate the proceeds to charity.
