Beaded Creations!

This Christmas the girls and I were busy making jewelry for all our grandmas, aunts and cousins! The results were amazing! The girls were creative and we had a great time for several days!

These are the boxes we made for our lovely gifts!
We had an assembly line that worked like  a charm!
This one is for Grandma Toni...

And this one is for Grandma Diane! Both are Morgan originals!
More designs!

LOVELY!

Home-made gift boxes with Gabe's jewelry gifts!

My custom book marks!

An action shot!

"Work with me..."


A little vampire action for the red and black  book mark!

This is a small sample of my first bookmarks. I have several other colors now including purple and yellow! They are so beautiful that I am wanting to decorate my bookshelf with them! Morgan is getting the red one for her birthday since she loves the Twilight books so much! I may also try some different colored ribbons and look for different dangles for the ends!

Thanks for looking!

  1. Those all look great! I will have to take a picture of some of the beaded bookmarks that I have been making. I made a "Twilight" themed one as well! Where did you learn how to make the cute boxes? Was there an online tutorial?

  2. I googled Origami box, and came up with a tutorial for the ones with lids. The boxes with the twisted tops were a google image search for a gift box. I printed off the pattern, adjusted it for two contrasting papers, and it was off to the assembly line!

    I'd love to see your bookmarks! Especially the Twilight themed one! ...and thanks for looking!
