Monthly Folding Challenge - December 2008
This month's topic is : Holidays.
Basically, you can fold anything that references or is identified to a specific holiday. For example, Santa Claus from Christmas or a Jack-O-Lantern from Halloween. But, the topic isn't limited to the more popular holidays like Christmas, Easter or Halloween : it can be from any holiday of your choice like one that is specific to your country. Also, it has to be an existing holiday : don't make something up (such as blueberry-pie-eating day).
The rules for this contest are :
- Specify the holiday linked to your model
- You can use any number of sheets
- No cutting, taping or gluing (except MC) allowed
- Preferably a square for the starting shape
If the topic is too vague, feel free to tell me : I can always change it.
juston won the previous contest and will be the judge for this month's challenge. Get creative!

This is perfect! I've been working on designing a cornicopia for thanksgiving but ran behind with Nanowrimo so this gives me an excuse to finish it! Yay!

Mentioning cornucopia gave me a great idea on how to make one, but you brought it up so I won't do it this time.mrsriggins wrote:This is perfect! I've been working on designing a cornicopia for thanksgiving but ran behind with Nanowrimo so this gives me an excuse to finish it! Yay!
How did Nanowrimo go? Did you hit 50k? I did it last year but not this year because I was getting married + honeymooning in Nov.

I might not get around to finishing mine I have a pumpkin that I am going to submit that was supposed to go with the cornucopia but I've been swamped lately, starting a buisness takes a lot of work! Even if we both submit cornucopias yours might be betterkareshi wrote:Mentioning cornucopia gave me a great idea on how to make one, but you brought it up so I won't do it this time.mrsriggins wrote:This is perfect!
