Make Your Own Treasured Keepsake with Beaded Christmas Ornament Kits
Handmade beaded Christmas ornaments are a fabulous gift to give to just about anyone. My own Christmas tree is loaded with Christmas tree ornaments that have been given to me over the years. I have a whole collection of ornaments from my grandmother. Since she is no longer with me, I cherish them more now than I did the day I received them.I have keepsake ornaments that my parents gave to me and beautiful handmade beaded ornaments that my mother made for me when I was still a child. I also have handmade ornaments from my children. Now that they are grown, it is a walk in the past to touch the ornaments those precious little hands made.
Giving Christmas ornaments as Christmas gifts has become a family tradition in our home. Why not make your own beaded Christmas ornaments and start a new family tradition today?
Beaded Ornament Handmade by My Mother
This is one of the ornaments that my mother made for me when I was a little girl. It is approximately 45 years old. It is one of my greatest treasures.
In my minds eye, I can still see my mom sitting at the kitchen table, placing each bead, each sequin in just the right place to make this lovely keepsake. Year after year, this ornament finds it's special place on our tree.
An Ornament I Made for Our Son
I made this spider ornament for my son 22 years ago. Each year, regardless of when I decorate our Christmas tree, I hold the little spider aside for my son to add to the tree. To this day, our tree is not completely finished until he comes home and hangs the spider on the tree.
I made the spider long before the internet and computers became a household "utility". I have never gone back to write my own instructions online.
This Was A Gift I Made for Our Daughter
I chose to make this ornament for my daughter because her favorite color is purple. However, there is another meaning behind the color choice. Purple is a combination of red and blue, the warmest and coolest colors, therefore purple is considered to be the ideal color. Thus, an ideal beaded ornament for an ideal daughter!
I Made This Ornament for Each of Our Children
In addition to the ornaments I made with the individual child in mind, I have also made matching ornaments over the years for both of our children. The green carousel ornament is one that I made for both children.
Ornament Kits or Instruction Books
I personally prefer the ornament kits because they come prepackaged with everything needed to complete a beaded ornament, except the craft glue. However, sometimes a kit is not available in a specific color or design. Then I pull out my trusty books and buy the supplies required separately.Either way, the gift of a handmade ornament is special to the recipient and will be a cherished treasure, just as the ones I have shared above, for decades to come.

Your beaded ornaments created for and by family members are lovely, Mouse. Thanks for sharing these delightful creations and telling us about other ideas and kits for us to make our own to put on our Christmas trees or to begin a holiday memory in our own families. This is a terrific review.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely beaded ornaments. When I was younger, I made all the decorations myself. My son loved crafts. But, I don't do that anymore.
ReplyDeleteThese beaded decorations look so effective don't they! I also have lots of decorations that were given to me by my nan and I know I will treasure them when she's gone. Merry Christmas for when it comes around!
ReplyDeleteThe beaded ornaments you've made are beautiful!! I've always wanted to make beaded ornaments like the green one you've made... there's just never enough hours in my day. But I keep my eye on the beaded ornament kits you have in your store. Someday. Thank you so much for including my easy ornaments article!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea Miss Mouse. You are clever and talented. These are beautiful. My own hand made ornaments went to my children once they were married and did up their own trees. We don't put a tree up anymore, just my lovely Nativity set is displayed for the Holiday Season. And that is okay by me, because He really is the reason for the season.
ReplyDeleteThese would make a great DIY project to do with the grandkids, or to bring as a hostess gift to a party, or a gift for the kids at a party
