Do I decorate with beads during Christmas, not so much...in 2006 i had to come up with a totally cheap way of giving little handmade gifts so I went over to the Dollar Store and bought paper clips that I un-bent and went through my beads and created 'ice sickles".During the rest of the year I'd say yes. I have an old Christmas tree ( took the bottom branches out doors and used as ground cover to keep the weeds away), that I call my whatever tree that has evovled into a muse for me -a few months ago I wrapped an old rose garland that my Mom sent to me, some of my necklaces and breaclets make the tree when I'm not wearing them, if I've lost an earring the one remaining will often go there until it becomes part of my art...I just bought some pink velvet Poinsettias and now as I'm writing this comment -I'm thinking of getting some pink crepe paper out and look through my beads and floss and see what I see. Last Chritmas I participated in Rebecca Sower's Homespun and Handcrated from the home series and(some with beads), and they are all still hanging out where I can see them. One of the things I put together was(this fit a small tree), gold wired ribbon and clear wrap with a white "kids" bead ever-so-often -the clear wrap picked up the glitter from the ribbon(no lites,it might melt). One year I used a beige ruffle trim as garland...I could take that out and glue or sew some beads and maybe buttons to it for something different? OKAY, ALREADY!! My thinking cap is on lol. Happy happies.

And I always like to include some kind of handmade ornament. Either to dangle in the middle of the wreath or to attach to it. And yes, you guessed it, beads are always an ingredient. It makes the wreaths sparkly and then when they are ready to retire, there is still a ornament that can be used next year on another wreath or somewhere else.Carlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052412384877288768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-89436434810522447932008-11-18T13:35:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:35:00.000-05:00Adorable!

I had just been to the local cooking store to buy some cutters before I saw this - now I went right back to get that snowflake I refrained from buying yesterday, because it was a little big for a pendant *g* <BR/><BR/>I should definitely make some ornaments for our tree this year - I never get into the right spirit before I start my Holiday crafts. Usually I made gift tags of all kinds of leftovers and attached them with beaded cords. Each year I made more new ones than I used... so I still have supplies, I guess - and I kind of stopped making them a few years ago, because my boyfriend doesn't look at the packaging anyway *sigh*<BR/><BR/>I also have to get two necklaces done and draw some Exlibris, so I have presents...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-38608605558850698732008-11-17T09:12:00.000-05:002008-11-17T09:12:00.000-05:00You guys have som many great ideas and traditions....You guys have som many great ideas and traditions.

My tree is full of all my treasures that I collected over the years, I have some ornaments from my neice Heather (Humblesbeads) and her mother Bev (NoeEasyBeads) used to crochet and she made me the coolest birds and ponies. The birds are my all time favorite and I pack them away carefully every year. I'm the Christmas Kook here, the kids are gone and I'm the one with the most spirit at my house. So Merry Christmas to you and yours!Rosannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558023847930439156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-48230766826584194002008-11-15T14:10:00.000-05:002008-11-15T14:10:00.000-05:00That Snowman Love ornament is the best!For Christm...That Snowman Love ornament is the best!<BR/><BR/>For Christmas every year, my boys and I make popcorn strings for the tree, cards for close family members, and all sorts of kids crafty ornaments for family. The best part for my older son is that he gets to use my equipment to make Sculpley candy canes! Cranking the pasta machine, rolling, shaping, baking... it makes him feel so grown up.<BR/><BR/>I of course make all sorts of beady wonderfullness for presents and some home decorations, but what really stands out is what I do with the kids in my studio. It's way more fun than hanging out in mall lines:)Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247477979560861388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-49723293528262313932008-11-15T12:35:00.000-05:002008-11-15T12:35:00.000-05:00Love your ornaments!
