Christmas is almost here and that means our HoliDIY Contest is about to come to an end. For several weeks our Facebook fans have been voting for their favorite Marketplace Events made ornament. Our team members were challenged to see who could make the best ornament, and everything comes to a head at midnight Christmas Day.

What you'll need:
Step 1: Cut a stick about 6 inches long.
Step 2: Cut a length of scrap ribbon.
Step 3: Lay out the ribbon and cut to form a tree shape.
Step 4: Hot glue the ribbon to the stick
Step 5: Tie a ribbon at the top to make a loop
Step 6: Hang on your tree!
