Christmas is Coming Part 2

Following on from last weeks blog we’ve got some more ideas and tips to ensure this Christmas is a real Cracker!

Create these delightful Christmas tree earrings using Green copper craft wire, size 8/0 Miyuki rocailles (same as the candy cane from the prevous blog if you want to use up your supplies) and Silver plated ear-wires Wrap your green craft wire around a pen or a mandrel to create a cylindrical spiral Shape. Thread your different coloured Seed beads and finish with a loop to secure. Attach your choice of ear wire to the top. We’ve finished with some Clear seed beads to add a star on top of the tree effect.

This angel pendant/charm is made using semi precious agate drops (take a look at the selection we have for angel dresses in all colours!!) a Sterling Silver wing charm and silver plated round bead finished with a Gold filled halo bead. Thread these elements on to a silver plated head pin and create a loop to finish.

Our new bracelet making kits are a great idea for Christmas eve boxes and stocking fillers. The kits come complete with Alphabet beads saying either Xmas or Noel. A mixture of glass and Acrylic beads in Pink, Blue, red and green as well as a length of stretch magic Elastic Cord. Take a look at some of the designs we’ve been making with these kits.

Beads Jars Christmas Shop is still open. Take a look at our collection of gifts, beads, charms, bags, chains, threads and ribbons. Browse our Christmas Gift Ideas for help and inspiration, be quick because there aren’t many more sleeps until the big guy comes.

For now we wish you all a Merry Christmas and we hope to see you all in the New Year!
