Hanging Decorations

I've recently caught the stitching bug and have been making little hanging decorations to go on a new little Christmas tree for my craft room.

I've used felt to make elephant ones using a template, and added button eyes and ribbon for hanging.

These floral patterns were made in different shapes for a little floral accent to Christmas.

I made some holly shapes and used red beads for berries.

This bird was made with felt from a free template I printed off the internet.

Bracelets

I've been really enjoying making bracelets at the moment. These are so easy to make, just pick your beads, thread onto elastic and tie the ends off. I've made these ones with wooden beads and shell beads for a natural theme.

Earings!!!

Just a few pairs of my handmade earings to give you a few ideas. I used these as table presents for my sisters when they came round for a meal last week.  I tend to start by deciding on my colour scheme, then I pick my main bead before deciding on the particular design and subsequent beads to finish the project off. All you need to have a go yourself is round nosed pliers, earing findings, beads, and head pins. Try it yourself!!!!
