Christmas Craft Projects - Beaded Fruit Ornaments
What you need: Thin skin plastic fruits: natural size and color. Available at most craft
supply stores; Beads: Bags of 6mm plastic faceted beads with holes, matching color of each fruit. Example, red for
apple; Steel, flat head pins; gold, silver, or green silk leaves; gold
string for hanging ornaments.
What to do:
1. If fruit comes with leaves then purchasing leaves is not necessary
and you can skip step 4. Do not remove leaves from the fruit unless they
slip off and can be reapplied. If they do not have leaves, you may apply
your own silk leaves with glue.
2. Beginning at bottom of fruit and working in rounds up to top, place a
pin through the bead and insert the pin into the fruit.
3. Be sure to use the matching color of beads for the particular fruit
you are beading. Cover entire surface of each fruit.
4. Glue leaves near stem of each fruit.
5. Glue loops of gold string to center, top core of each fruit ornament
for hanging.
