I have a friend who's looking to bead some Christmas
ornaments for her giftpackages and tree this year. She does *not* want to cover a glass ball ornament. These would be like
Christmas Theme earrings, but *much* larger. I believe she wants
to make them on a loom.
I think she wants them to be about 4 x 2 at least, maybe larger.
She figures that when the lights on the tree are behind the
beaded ornament they'll glow really neat, but they can also have
a backing on them.
Does anyone have a source she could look at? (I've already
checked out miningcompany.com for 2 hours) Or maybe let me know
how an earring pattern could be enlarged (besides using larger
beads) to make a hanging ornament for her tree and presents?
Should she just take any old pattern and make it? Would it be
stable enough or would the finished product bend? |

Try http://www.tapdancinglizard.com We saw that site already and were thinking more
along the lines of a Santa, Snowman, Nutcracker, Candy Canes, a
present box, etc. The TapDancingLizard patterns are nice, but
too formal for what we wanted. I have made Christmas Ornaments using some of Sig Wynne-Evans earring designs.
She has some great holiday designs in Earring Designs, by Sig Book III
I brick stitched them with the 4mm square Myuiki beads. They go together
quickly and look great !!!!!! I assume you could bead them up in any larger
size bead like E beads or Crows. I just happend to the the 4x4's around at the
time. |
