Last Minute Holiday Gifts!
Need a last minute holiday gift? Any of these beauties can be whipped up in less than 30 minutes, and make great stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or can be used to garnish holiday gifts.
Holiday Tree Earrings — fun to make in sterling, gold-filled, or even green craft wire! I have made these fun earrings for my entire work team; they love them and get compliments over and over.
Snowman Earrings — super fast to put together — if you don't have the Stardust beads, use any silver-colored beads.
Candle Wraps — dripless or pillar candles work best, and you don't have to limit your bead color to Christmas reds and greens. Match your hostess' décor for a super fast, simple and elegant instant "thank you" gift.
Wine Glass Charms — holiday themes are great, or stick to charms that have a theme that ties in with a favorite hobby...to make the charms even more useable, simply use coordinating but differently colored beads in dangles or string directly on the hoop.
Ornament hangers — not just for Christmas...the recipient can use to hang sun catchers, glass birds or other ornaments that are displayed year-round.
For New Year's Celebrations — nothing could be hotter than Rachel earrings made using sparkling Swarovski crystals, a Randomly Floating Necklace or Triple Strand 24K Gold Wire Necklace.
Finally, this past year has been a blast for me...learning new techniques, working on projects to share, and mostly, getting to know so many wonderful beaders throughout the world! No matter what you celebrate, thank you for all of your contributions, comments, and support in 2006. We have exciting plans for Beading Help Web in 2007 and I can't wait to start out the new year with you!
