Knitting Wreath
Definately a cute christmas decoration. Made using a styrofoam wreath form and LOTS of hot glue. Wreaths like this use TONS of ornaments and many hours of gluing ... but they turn out GREAT!

flower shoe clips
Peeking out from underneath a dress, flower-adorned shoes are the perfect accessory. These simple silk-flower embellishments are a lovely way to personalize your shoes. To adorn shoes, glue a silk flower onto a shoe clip with a hot-glue gun, using a dime-sized dollop to ensure the flowers stay on. Slip a flower clip onto each shoe. A single large daisy or sunflower is plenty for some shoes -- for others, try lining up a handful of delicate violets or other small blossoms.
...
so far, i've only been able to find one source for blank shoe clips, you can purchase 12 clips for $6.99 here -- their store has since closed.
