Winterfest will soon be here, and I bet I'm not the only one in a panic wondering how on earth I'm going to get everything done before Impostclaws comes visiting. For more years than I care to admit, I've been making a new Xmas Ornament each year to commemorate the year. This time, I'm after some special Spiral Knights inspiration and I want you to help me!

Your task is to make a holiday ornament that can be hung on a tree. The ornament you create must relate in some way to Spiral Knights. How you make your ornament is completely up to you. It can be sewn, molded, knitted, sculpted, carved, stuffed, baked, glued - anything! You just need to be able to hang it on a Christmas tree (or tree substitute if you don't have one handy!).

===H===

What to do!
- Create a real life ornament to celebrate your frilling..um..THRILLING year with Spiral Knights
- Link to a photo of the materials with ID card showing your SK name and date
- Link to an in-progress picture with ID card showing your SK name and date
- Link to the finished piece with ID card showing your SK name and date
- Link to the finished piece without ID showing it dangling from something festive (I have it on good authority that door knobs can be festive if you don't have a handy tree).

Entry thread is here

Please include the following in your post:
- Your Knights name
- Your choice of top prize should you win (options listed below)
- Winning entries may be posted on social media. If you'd like to have us @ you in the post, please include your Twitter name in your entry.

"It can be sewn, molded, knitted, sculpted, carved, stuffed, baked, glued - anything!"

I guess it's time to bake a punkin pie and try to find a tree sturdy enough to hang a whole pie from.

Aw crap

Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to do this this year, too busy. ;^; (And it would've been my first year too...) I'll gladly watch for everyone's entries though, love to see any creativity. ^^

Origami

It's probably fine, but i just want to be one hundred percent sure. What about a folded ornament? In other words, Origami? I am quite good at it, so is an origami ornament acceptable?

Fold away!

Yes! Basically any way you can make an original ornament is fine provided the outcome relates to Spiral Knights in some way and you show the progression of your ornament being created as instructed in the rules!

Awww yisss

Think I might have to get in on this. I love me some community activity. Also, this is my first Christmas in the game (even though I started playing just after launch) and it should be celebrated .
