Beads, Beads and MORE Beads

I wanted to make a friend a patriotic bracelet and things just went berserk from there!!! I got out my stash of beads and here's what happened...I made the butterfly bracelet for ME!!!

The bracelet is so cute!!! I got the beads and bracelet from Oriental Trading Company. They included everything from Uncle Sam to flags to stars!

I made a bookmark (also from Oriental Trading Company).

Check out Uncle Sam!

Patriotic pickle fork, spreader and wine cork.

I'm going to a dinner party this weekend and a party on the 4th, so the spreader and pickle fork will make fantastic hostess gifts!!!

It's so much fun to get into beading again - I forgot how much I love it!

Happy creativity!
