Hand crocheted ice skate ornaments. This listing is for 2 pair of skates. You can choose the lace/blade color. The "blades" of these skates are colored paper clips. Each skate is approximately 2.25" tall.

A complimentary pattern of this item is available at cottongindesign.wordpress.com

I saw some great 2 dimensional ice skate ornaments online, while looking to be inspired for developing Christmas products. I saw so much potential in that little skate. I envisioned it as more 3-dimensional. While shopping for paper clips, which I couldn't find anywhere...weird, I know...but finally, Target had one package of large paperclips and they happened to be metallic pink,purple, green and blue. I rushed home, came up with a few sketches and a few patterns. What you see is what I finally decided on making a ton of.
