Recycled Curtains

Another Gifty Ornament

This time, Emily and I made a beaded ornament together.  To get started, Mommy cut the jewelry wire to around 10″ with Fiskars’ wire cutters.  Using the bent nose pliers, I curled one end of the wire to keep the beads from falling off.  The next step was to start threading the beads and I […]
