Yup, I'm crazy. After making the Santas I kicked it up a knotch and decided to try making some Christmas Trees. They are made out of Fimo Polymer Clay and I added some little sparkly beads to give it a little sizzle. They aren't too big, they can be placed on a mantel or a Christmas tree... the choice would be yours to make. But I thought they were fun... my only worry when I was making them was if I would have enough clay. Luckily I had both a plain red and an "effect" red that had the sparkles in it. So I tried one tree of each.
Here's how they turned out...

I rolled them out... it took about 3 rows of the Fimo Clay to get
my trees to the right size. I honestly thought it would take
more clay to get the desired look... happy it didn't! |

My completed little trees. One with just swirled white Fimo
clay and the other with dots of Fimo and my little jewels
for that added "OH LA LA" |
I have to say that I am really happy with the way the little trees turned out. Now just to add a ribbon on the top so that they can be added a Christmas ornament... or not, depending on what you want to do with the little ornaments.
Having just taken the Christmas tree ornaments out of the oven.. I don't recommend baking them with the jewels. Even though it's a low temperature, it still make the jewels cloudy and they fell off. So I put some new ones back on with a bit of glue and they look pretty fab-oosh!
