FOR BEADER'S AND JEWELRY MAKERS

Chevron bead and Indian glass bead strings

Image via WikipediaIt's amazing what you can do with a few beads. When I was young beads were things we put on thread with a needle and sewed it onto things like, leather and cloth and make then into bookmarks or friendship bracelets, but now...beads are in...big in crafting and jewelry making. this site caught my eye today when I was searching for new crafts and supplies. Great site for beading.

ANOTHER GREAT ONE FROM MICHAEL'S CRAFT STORE

Tag Angel Ornaments
Here is another great one I think I'll try. If you make any of these, please come back and leave your comments or suggestions for change or improvement to the crafts.

MICHAEL'S CRAFT STORE: MIRRORED SWIRL ORNAMENTS

Mirrored Swirl Ornaments
I found this on the Michael's Craft Store Website PROJECT #e07221

Every year I find a new way to use the clear ornaments. This one looks like great fun and I'm adding it to my list of ornaments to make this year.

I also got a great buy on gift boxes to put them in from
The Dollar Tree
They are red and green satin cubes with covers and a velvet ribbon and bow around them. I used these the last few years and people loved them, and the best part is it's The Dollar Tree...Everything is a dollar.
