Making Supplies for your own Handcrafted
Jewelry
Make your own beaded artificial fruit with seed
beads.
You can make your
very own small beaded artificial fruit
with seed beads. You can purchase the
artificial fruit at any crafts store and
they are so much fun to make.
To make the beaded
artificial fruit you will need
-
Small artificial
fruit
-
6mm colored seed
beads to match the color of the fruit.
-
Tacky glue
-
Toothpick
Using the toothpick, spread
glue over a small part of the fruit. Add
your beads, one at a time with the holes
facing out. Allow the glue to dry. You
can mix the colors of beads to resemble the
natural color gradations of the fruit.
-
You can use
this same technique to add sparkle to
different shapes such as plastic stars,
crosses, balls or hearts. There are many
different wood shapes at craft stores that
would look very nice covered in beads.
Also, attach a hanging loop to make a shiny
Christmas ornament or gift trim. You can
hang some from the mantel or even use
them on wreaths. You can also attach a name
for great place settings.
With all
the many different colored seed beads now
you could make just about anything. I know
that you have seen the artificial beaded
fruit for sale on the internet or in fancy
gift stores. They are very expensive and you
can just make them yourself.
If you have any
questions or any arts and crafts ideas please
contact me and I will add it to my site.
