I did these last year and they came out well.  Simple and fast.

You need those inda like stems, but they have them with metallic sctreamers
and they come in all colors.  If you find them it is best to get a bag of
100 in all colors.  As over on Amazon  last year they had bags of 100 all
one color and the bags of 100 that had a mixture of all the colors.  You
also need 6mm faceted crystal beads.  They are asmall so you can get 8 mm,
but don't go larger then that.  Slide 6 beads on the stem, take a pencil and
twist the stems around but you need to move the beads as you twist them.
Put a curl on the bottom and you can just bend the top as a hook to hang on
the tree, packages, etc.or make a loop at the top and hang a hook on it.

They are Icicles and the crystal beads make them sparkle, the stems with the
streamers add color and they are just  a colorful ornament.

Hi Krafters,

 

I am looking for a couple of quick to work up decorations.  I belong to a
group where everybody brings some little thing for everybody in the group
the last meeting before Christmas.  Since I have all of this time waiting
for my surgery, I would like to make decorations for them.

 

I have made beaded reaths with a candle in the middle, but the lace I use
seems to have been discontinued at all of the craft stores.

 

Someone brought knitted bells last year, so I don't really want to make them
this year.

 

I would very much appreciate any quick beaded, knitted, or plastic grid
ideas that can be made up pretty quickly.

 

Thanks,

 

Bernice and the ever sweeter Octane.
