Really... "S" will be putting up her tree tomorrow!
And with all the busy times ahead, we still have time to think up something 'new'. It started with this craze for little bottles, which stemmed from the whole steam-punk fashion craze. Little bottles are cute, and "S" has at least a hundred of them (seriously - she really does have a lot more than a hundred!). So, what could we do with all these cute little 1.5" tall bottles with cork bungs?
"I know!" exclaimed "S" one day... "We'll make them into Christmas decorations".
She made it sound so easy and simple. It wasn't!
First of all, we had to think of designs that would fit into the bottles... then get the fiddly things actually inside the tiny bottles too! Not all our designs are based on beading - though there is some kind of beading on each of the bottles - all of them have beaded ribbon holders. The angels were the hardest - trying to get those little suckers to fit in the bottles was a bit trying to say the least! Maybe angels just shouldn't be stuffed into tiny bottles? Anyway... the end product does look really good - though the close-ups and photography work really does NOT do them justice.
Bit of a shame you can't see the little beaded gold haloes... they really are cute!
Bead Happy!
