General Ideas
- Holiday Ornaments
- Previously run in 2018
- Additional ornaments:
- Felt fruitcake
- Add simple LED blinkies to ornaments for easy "techy" stuff, just need LED, coin cell, tape

- Do not use steel for wind chimes, or get much better drill bits
- Chimes take a long time, even without steel rod
- Glue dots work well for sticking felt together
