Number 4 reminds me most of Christmas time although the others are cute too :)
I vote for number 2, I love dangly things and really like all of the ribbon and how the danglies are Christmas parcels.
number 18! this is for me the art of recycling materials you would never normally use and they would end up in the bin…
My vote is for NiftyKnits!! i like the use of old xmas cards coz people always end up throwing them in the bin!!
I vote for Number 4….I think I have the materials and could actually make those. They are really cute…..
I love the little ice skates in number 4, by Daisie best :D

Those little iceskates are out of this world cute. Everything here is beautiful, but number 4 gets my vote!
I love number 2 but my vote goes to Daise’s cute ice skates.

18 – Lupin – like the story on the blog too..
I vote for Daisy Davies paperclip ice skates! Number FOUR :P
Number 4 – Daisie’s iceskates look great and so seasonal on a holly background.

I think number 18 is the best so will vote for that one

Like 8, 15 and 19 … but going for No. 15

I think nuber two from nifty knits is a great feature and definatly gets my vote!! what a imaginative way of creating a christmas decoration!!

Okay, all are really great, but number 4 gets my vote……
My favourite is #2 by NiftyKnits.
No 18 is cool! it actually looks like its been made of stuff you might have thrown away!
No 18 is cool! it actually looks like its been made of stuff you might have thrown away!
number 17
Number 1 is absolutely FAB! Love it!
Has to be number 15!
boo, i had a great idea but didn’t get round to doing it in time for the deadline :( everyone else’s stuff is better than i’m sure mine would have turned out though anyway! i vote for:
17, feltbug’s lightbulb baubles (genius!)
Number 2 is so creative but also really emphasises the way recycled goods can make something so special, especially at this joyous time of year when I am keen to turn my home into Santas Grotto for the grandkids. Definantly gets my vote for giving me a great idea!
I vote for number 3.
In a year of credit crunches and global recession, all focus surely must be on recycled and reusable materials. Great concept putting presents on strings hung in a childproof height, so they can all be reused the following year, though a couple of inches higher up, in case little Brian despite general famine and starvation has manged to put on few inches by eating old newspapers from the next door bin :-) Need I say more; the winner is 2!!
I vote for number nineteen, the ring pull stars.
feltbug for me
Great, love No2, this one gets my vote!
I vote from duckdown designs number 22. I love the angel, its so cute and just comes alive:-) gbu ruthxx
I vote for number 18, Lupin!
I like nifty knits mobile. Great use of stuff I’d usually throw away. And feel bad about throwing away because it’s so pretty. Really embodies the spirit of re-use.
Quest 28s hearts and Daisies skates are nice too!
my vote is for #18. Love the eco ornament! The gold coins makes it shine!!
Wow! number 18 would look great on my wall, where can I get it from?!!? this should definitely win!
My vote is for # 2 NiftyKnits. It’s Wonderful!!
I vote Lupin! Hooray for everyone :D
No 17 the felted lightbulbs.
No 17 the felted lightbulbs.

17 wins it for me, simple and effective.
I vote for Daisy Davies ice skates!
I vote No 2 NiftyKnits!
I vote for number one, I love it! great competition, lots of ingenious entries
