Last week my friend Karen stopped by to play in my Studio with me. We each made a set of wood bead snowman ornaments for our families. We had a great time chatting and crafting. All of the ornaments are adorable.
My inspiration came from ornaments I saw on Pinterest (see below). But instead of using beads all the same size, I chose beads of graduating size that I bought through Amazon. Instead of stringing the beads on yarn, I used wavy green chenille stems that I had in my stash.
The ornaments went together very quickly! These first four are for my daughter Julie's family. They each have a charming satin red bow for the embellishment.
The snowmen for Jodie and Kenny are sporting bright red felt scarves.
For Jeanne, I chose a blue felt scarf.
Each snowman has the date and recipient's name on the back.
For now, the ornaments for Dale and me are hanging out together in my Studio, waiting to be hung on the tree.
This handmade ornament tradition is one I hope to continue into retirement. It's fun to go to our daughter's homes and see them on display each year as they grow their own family traditions.
