The last of the advent ornaments brings a super quick and easy but lovely-to-look-at clip that can be used to adorn gifts as well as your tree.  Once you have your materials gathered, you can put one of these together in less than 15 minutes.  I love to wrap my packages in brown kraft paper and tie them with jute cord then clip this on.  A little spray glitter adds some sparkle.  After the package is opened the decoration can be clipped onto a branch of the Christamas tree. 

I also created a smaller version of these clips on mini clothespins and used them as package toppers on the gifts I made my boys' teachers.

I've written a tutorial that gives you all the help you need in crafting one for yourself.  And, if you leave a comment on this post, I will pick one winner randomly and send the winner this ornament for their own tree.  Comments must be received by 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning to qualify, and the results will be posted on Wednesday morning.

This is the last of my advent posts but watch for my Bag of the Week post later this week.  Sharing this with the folks at Today's Creative Blog on their Get Your Craft On Feature.  Head over that way to see lots of creativity.
