Pretty in Pink, Purple Passion and Black Elegance

Here are some more fun examples of the Easy Christmas Crafts – Beaded Christmas Wreath and Easy Felt Crafts – Keepsake Gift Bag.

Pretty in Pink, Purple Passion and Black Elegance will travel across the pond (otherwise known as the Atlantic ocean) to Scotland.

Pretty in Pink goes to a pretty little girl who loves pink and who loves to dance.

Here’s the matching pink keepsake bag.

Her mom loves the color purple, thus Purple Passion for her.

Here the ornaments are ready to go in the matching keepsake bag:

Her dad likes black – what better than Black Elegance?

The black keepsake gift bag holds the elegant beaded Christmas wreaths.

With a variety, many combinations of the beads can be made into wreaths from fun and whimsical to pretty and elegant. Plus, you can match the keepsake bags to the colors in the wreaths. But, if you want, you can contrast the colors or use holiday red, green, gold, blue and silver colors.

Holiday Red

It’s the middle of November and time to start making gifts for family and friends.

Take a look at these beaded Christmas wreaths in holiday red.

These beaded Christmas wreath ornaments use the same methods as found in our Easy Christmas Crafts – Beaded Christmas Wreath examples. But, for variety, we used different types of beads. The beads came in a bulk container – 1000s – with a mix of colors, sizes and shapes.

Six wreaths easily fit within the Easy Felt Crafts – Keepsake Gift Bag. Green yarn holds the sides together with the blanket stitch. For the drawstring, both green and red yarns – three of each color – make the braid.

This gift journeys to a distant city via a delivery service. Since it will be in a box, why not send the accompanying Christmas card as an Easy Christmas Crafts – Five Point Star?

Take a look:

What fun…six ornaments as gifts, a keepsake bag to keep them from year to year and a Christmas card that is also a five point star ornament.

All of these are fun and easy crafts. Take a look at the steps for each of them.

Beaded Christmas Wreath

Added – just today – how to make simple and elegant Beaded Christmas Wreath ornaments.

These ornaments use inexpensive materials, common tools and a small amount of time to make.

Though small, these ornaments add beauty to any tree – large or small.

The materials can easily be found at the big box discount stores or at craft supply stores.

The beads in bags of 500 pieces or higher cost just a few dollars (<$5).

The fuzzy fiber wire comes in packets of 25 or more for less than $1. Each wire is long enough for two ornaments. Or, if you have it on hand, you can use bead wire or floral wire.

For the decorative ribbon, craft ribbon or gift ribbon work great. Several yards come on a spool for less than $2.

The lace is optional and can be purchased in bulk as well for a few dollars.

For the hanging loop, a small packet of yarn can be found for a small amount of money. Or, if you prefer, you can leave the yarn loop off the ornament. You can also use thread or string for the hanging loop.

For less than $10, you can make between 30 and 50 ornaments. They’re pretty and look more expensive than they are. Their “expense” can be found in the care and attention you took in making them.

These simple but elegant ornaments show people you care. Depending on how close you are to the people on your list, you can give one or several of the ornaments to each person.

Just think, Christmas should be about giving from the heart. Giving people something you made with thoughtfulness and attention shows them you care about them and about the spirit of the holiday.
