Adding a Few Beads

Barbara Crews

Look in your craft stash and find a few beads that will work, six - ten are all you need. The holes in the beads should be large enough for the floral wire. For this shaker I used a single large bead at the top that had horizontal holes, but any type of large bead will work.

Tip: I wanted red wooden beads for this piece, so I took an old Christmas garland apart.
