Need Some Ideas!

[thepunkrockinchick]

Okay ladies.. I didn't post this in seeking patterns, because really I am just seeking ideas. I need to crochet a tree topper for my iddy biddy 3' tree. I want to do something amigurumish, but I can't think of what! I will post the pattern when I'm done in the free patterns category. I want to do something fairly traditional (maybe.. open to any kind of ideas), but no angels or stars. Thanks ahead of time for any ideas you creative gals might have.

Well, since you have a little one at home and I'm pretty partial to snowmen, I say a snowman would look really cute on top of the tree! That's something easy that even I can make (usually, lol!)

How about a cute little "Santa" bear with a santa hat and outfit carrying either a sack or a present.

 

Or a Reindeer.

 

I like the Snowman idea too.

 

Just to let you know, my tree is only 2 1/2 ft tall and right now it doesn't have a topper. I think I have the same problem as you.

I think even just a little Santa hat would be cute. Hmmmm...I dunno...The other ideas are cute too.

A little angel would be cute too.

How about doing an entire nativity to hang on the tree? Then you can place baby Jesus at the top. If the kids play with it, it's ok, it's unique and celebrates the season. Good Luck. Tiny stuff like that is beyond me.

How about a snowflake with a cute face on it.

A really long pointy santa hat could double as a tree topper and a garland.

How about a sleigh?

How bout a little gingerbread girl holding a candy cane and maybe wearing a christmas hat. You could stuff the upper part of the body ( head and arms) and lighty stuff (or not) the arms so you can postion them how you like and sew them together. Then leave the bottom part (maybe a dress) open to go over the top of the christmas tree. You could crochet a cone and then make a head and sew it to the point of the cone.

And then make food related ornaments. Hope this makes sense.

That is a really cute idea.

is there something that you like / collect? I love butterflies and collected nutcrackers... one year I did my little bedroom tree with butterflies and one year I did nutcrackers

Thanks everyone for all of your wonderful ideas! I have a lot of thinking to do. I won't have it done this week, because I am so swamped, but once I choose what I will be making, it should be done by the end of next week.

You can also make a little elf.
