Beaded Crafts

February 16, 2008 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 1 Comment

I love working with beads. Here are a few of my favourites!

Beaded Purses – These are great for coins and other small objects, you can hang them around your neck or clip them to your pants. I made these from the Klutz Book “Ribbon Purses”.

I have also been busy making beaded dragonflies from Creature Features Website. These look great hanging on your window.

    Beads are just so beautiful to work with. I have made enough jewellery over the years for myself to open a small shop but I really love the other work people do with them.
