Christmas is the season of amusement, and if you're a fan of beading and bead craft, then you can use your passion for the hobby to fuel complete new appearance for your home this holiday season with a collection of free beadwork! If you are looking for fun Christmas beading ideas to add to the festive look to your home this Dec 25, then keep reading and we will outline 5 Christmas projects you can try!
1 - Candy Canes - Simple and attractive as beadwork go, you don't need much in the way of supplies to make these, and the designs are kid-friendly to boot! The excellent news is that with even a modest stock of supplies, you have possibly got everything you require to make many of these with supplies on hand, and they make fantastic decorations for your Christmas tree!
2 - Christmas Trees - Little miniature trees can be made quickly and effortlessly, with or without "decorations" (you could use multi-colored glass beads sewn around the tree design in different places for a beautiful effect!). Another child-friendly design that comes together fairly quickly!
3 - Wreaths - Similar to the tree design, above, but a little more complex, and as such, perhaps not as "child friendly" (as they take slightly more time to execute and see the results of your efforts, smaller kids might get frustrated before they're finished). Still, it's a fantastic little project that looks attractive when finished! Purchase several shades of green seed beads to make shadow and texture in your items, and highlight with red bits of holly.
4 - Angels - A moderately more difficult piece (and again, anything that kids may not have the patience for), the simplest patterns to work with display angels in profile. Buy different shades of white, silver, and gray to create a dimensional effect in your pieces. These look wonderful on the tree!
5 - Snowflakes - Of all the beading ideas stated here, the snowflake pattern is the hardest one to get right. This is absolutely not a pattern that young children could help with, as these can get fairly complex. They make among the most attractive and striking decorations on the tree, however, and if you've got the skill level and patience for it, you'll be well rewarded for your efforts! Executing one pattern well is (or can be) a somewhat daunting task, but if you are feeling specially adventurous, you can try making every snowflake on your tree unique! It's a tall order, but can certainly be done, just be ready to dedicate quite lots of time to the task!
As you can see from just the 5 beadwork above, there are all kinds of fun holiday beading tasks you can sink your teeth into, and this list only barely scratches the surface!
