Making Christmas Beaded Ornaments
It is that time of the year again and you can just about smell Christmas round the corner. There's that familiar sound of christmas carols again and are you starting to feel the xmas cheer from the people around you? It is around this time that we start making plans for the holidays like where we are going to be spending them, and we're also probably starting to make our Christmas shopping lists. But one huge and fun part of preparing for the Christmas season is decorating our houses.
The Christmas tree is an important part of the vacation and decorating them is something that is fun because we are able to do it with our family. It may also be quite challenging to think about new motifs for the tree. Beaders would find their craft very useful for this activity. You may even be creating family heirlooms that you can pass from generation to generation.
There are two great patterns that you can create with the xmas theme in mind. This one can be quite troublesome to make but it is really beautiful. Poinsettias are wonderful and really reflect the spirit of the season. You can use yellow handmade glass beads for the middle and red rochailles beads for the body of the flower. For your base, you may use a round clear piece of glass with a hole in the middle for the hanger. Tie a green or red ribbon from the hanger hole so you can put it up on your tree.
Another type of ornament that you can make is a tea ball ornament. You can use a mesh tea ball as your base. You can stitch the beads onto the tea ball in any color pattern that you would like. Select a selection of colors or make a certain pattern such as a snowflake design. Candy canes are often a fun design to make. The basic stitch that you'll need to learn for that is the spiral rope chain.
What about beaded snow angel dolls? Pearl seed beads and crystal beads would be the perfect ones to use for these. They are really beautiful when finished and would be very eye-catching on your tree. You may even use them to top the tree with rather than the common star.
Beadwork will fit with just about any xmas tree ornament you can think of. The important thing is ensuring that the design fits well with the kind of ornament you decide to create. But then again don't be afraid to experiment. In fact , xmas is the perfect time to channel that inner childlike-wonder in everyone. Beaded jewelry making is great fun for the youngsters, just ensure that they're supervised at any time when working with beads and tools. Most kids will listen if you teach them some safety tips in jewelry making if it means that they will be ready to make their own Xmas decorations.
