We had a workshop at the craft group yesterday. Barb, who is a beading expert, taught us to make angels and snowflakes.
Here are our efforts, hanging on the tree. I managed one snowflake and two angels. I wasn't happy with the nylon line so have replaced that with fine cotton hanging loops. They make attractive little gifts, don't they?
I have a lot of beads in my stash, and hope to make some more little decorations.
They look very pretty as they turn and catch the light. Thank you Barb for a fun, creative morning.
They are very sweet. I like Christmas ornaments that catch the light.
ReplyDeleteSo do I!
DeleteThey look lovely by the window, glowing!
ReplyDeleteI was very slow manipulating the pliers, the snowflake took me 45 minutes ❄️
DeleteI would love to try these little decorations. Well done on your makes! Catriona

DeleteThese are very pretty. I’ve done a small amount of beading but it is so fiddly trying to hold onto everything. A good idea to use cotton thread and I guess if it was run across beeswax it would be stronger. I got my beading mat out the other day when I wanted beads for embroidery, but the synthetic mat has perished. I shall probably just use a piece of felt in future.

We were each given a square of black felt to work on. It showed up the beads and stopped them rolling around
DeleteOh, I do like those ornaments! They look lovely hanging from the tree.
