WHAT TO BUILD

Shake Up Your Holiday!

The holiday season is the perfect time to infuse your Christmas tree with a touch of creativity and personal flair. This year, why not try your hand at building your own shakeable ornaments? These charming and interactive decorations will add a delightful twist to your tree, making it a centerpiece of festive fun and imagination.

Here’s how you can bring these unique ornaments to life:

Step 1: Build a Frame

Start with a sturdy frame as the foundation of your shakeable ornament. You can use clear LEGO elements to create a see-through structure that allows the contents inside to shine. The frame can be spherical, cubic, or even a playful abstract shape. Focus on symmetry and stability to ensure it’s ready to hang on your tree.

Step 2: Bring on the Charms

The real magic happens inside the ornament. Fill your creation with miniature builds, charms, or colorful elements that can move and shake when handled. Tiny holiday-themed builds like snowflakes, presents, or festive characters are perfect choices. You can also incorporate shiny pieces, trans-clear elements, or small studs to mimic the look of snow or glitter.

Step 3: Add the Final Touches

Once your ornament is filled with delightful surprises, it’s time to decorate the exterior. Add a splash of festive color with red, green, gold, or silver elements. Use decorative LEGO pieces like star elements, curved slopes, or even small wreath builds to make your ornament stand out. For a practical and stylish hanging solution, consider attaching a bag tag ring to your ornament. This provides a secure and reusable way to hang your creation on the tree.

Building shakeable ornaments is a fun and creative project that brings the joy of LEGO building into your holiday traditions. Whether you’re crafting with family or indulging in some solo creative time, these DIY decorations are sure to add sparkle and cheer to your Christmas tree. So gather your bricks and start shaking up your holiday decor!
