Christmas Project- need some ideas

[rlovew]

I know this is early but things around here are always crazy in the fall so I want the main parts done by then.

I want to do a series of children's sermons about the Christmas tree and Chrismons (ornaments that are monograms for Christ's names). With each 1 I want to have a nice ornament that I make for each family in the church to take home (I need to have about 30 of each).

I need something for each week so I am trying to think about what kind of an ornament I could do for each thing:

First week: Trees, Light, Candle- I have thought about making a nice decorated tree with my cricut (out of cardstock)

Second week: Crosses, Fish- symbols of Chirst- I am using plastic canvas to make crosses for everyone- about half done with the insides and then I need to do the edging

Third Week: hearts, dove, anchor, - I am think about using transparency of shrink plastic to make hearts- decorating them with alcohol inks- I know I can cut the transparency on the machines- not sure about the shrink plastic

Fourth Week: lamb, Shepard's staff, crown, shell, trinity, alpha/omega - I was thinking maybe SHepard's Staff's out of tribeads

Everything has to be in whites/silvers/gold as that is how the Chrismons are done. Does anyone have any other ideas of things that could be done on a large scale not to hard or expensive yet still nice enough that people would put them on their trees at home.

I am not locked into what I do each week so I can do something for any of the symbols mentioned.

I think you could cut shrink plastic on a cricut and for SURE on a cuttle bug or something like that. It's thin before it's shrunk.
