[Nfb-krafters-korner] Speaking of Christmas crafts

[Henrietta Brewer]

When we mentioned putting beads on an ornament a few years ago to spell out words in braille, we went searching for the satin balls. We never found any that wer plain. My Husband and I ended up writing "WE LOVE YOU" with beads on a piece of green satin material over a pillow. We took a picture of it and made copies in eight by ten size and framed them for the kids. Everyone  still displays their picture. But I would love to do the satin ball thing if anyone finds the satin balls.
