I had picked up a variety of wood beads at the craft store a while back, so it I had everything on hand. Using my acrylic paints for the colored beads, I mixed the perfect shade of coral, and painted the big beads. For a little bit of shine, I busted out my gold glitter and Mod Podge, I mixed the glitter and medium together, and painted over the beads. You can get pretty good coverage with the mix, but the mod podge will dull down the glitter a bit. You can add a second coat for complete coverage. After the first coats were dry, I added a thin layer of mod podge, and then sprinkled loose glitter over the top. What stuck, stuck, and I shook off any excess glitter.
I then strung the beads on a thin length of lace, and it was done. Made from everything that I had on hand.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the Craft Trend Post, I loved hearing your thoughts about fads, cozies, mustaches, toilet paper art. It gave me a good laugh, and made me happy that I'm not the only one with some opinions.
By the way, I don't HATE wreaths, I do like many of them, and would hand them. I just don't like wreaths that have a bunch of thing glued on them, just for the sake of making a wreath. I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to my wreath and door decor. Sorry if anyone was offended, I knew that was the point that would be the most controversial. Thanks again, you made me day.
