I wish that I could take credit for this idea, but unfortunately the real credit belongs to one of my dear co-workers who is in charge of our library's LEGO Club. This week she asked the LEGO Club participants to each make a small figure that they could then turn into a Christmas ornament. All it took to turn the figures into ornaments was a small loop of ribbon held between two interlocking bricks. Voila!

| Doesn't our tree look festive? |
 |
| Santa Claus |
 |
| Candle |
 |
This one looks a bit like a ghost, but you can
totally tell from the orange nose and the arms
that it's really a snowman. |

| Candy Cane. Several kids made this shape! |
 |
| Snowflake |
Pictured here are some of my favorite creations and they're all showing a holiday/winter theme. But you could easily use any shape at all - a car, a small house, an animal - and hang that from your tree. The real trick here is to keep the figures small and lightweight. If they are too heavy the figures don't hang very well.
