I have lots of salt and pepper shakers that I've picked up here and there -- so when I saw this idea at a local arts and crafts show I was intrigued by the different pieces.
The crafter used a variety of different single shakers to create fun looking pieces, lots of different ribbons and fringes were used, as well as beads from simple to unique.
It's very easy, just take a salt or pepper shaker, add some assorted yarns/fringe/ribbons, a few beads and in just a few minutes have an interesting ornament that can be used on a Christmas tree, hung from a light fixture or use as part of a curtain tieback. Or even better, a great gift for another collector!
Materials needed:
- Assorted yarns and ribbons -- approximately five 6 yard pieces
- One shaker
- Six - ten beads
- One piece 18 gauge (or thinner) wire
