Flurry of jewelry making

Posted Sat, Dec 26 2009 12:46 PM by lweiss

Plaited spiral My holidays wouldn’t seem complete if there wasn’t a rush of jewelry making in the days before Christmas. There’s always a gift I forgot to buy, or I think of the perfect pair of earrings to match the sweater I bought my mother, or I need to have an extra gift tucked in my purse, just in case.

Now that I’m done with the holiday gift-making, I’m trying to figure out what to do with all the leftover bits and pieces. Here are three of my favorite odds-and-ends projects from Bead&Button:

• “What to do with leftover beads,” by Nancy Alden
• “Plaited spiral,” by Alicia Shems
• “Touch of paradise earrings,” by Glenda Paunonen

I’m sure you have your own favorite uses for leftover beads – I’d love to hear them!

I've made several pairs of Glenda's "Paradise" earrings. They are fun to make, it's a quick project, and can be customized in lots of ways. It's a great way to use leftover beads!
