Bead Crafts
Bead crafts have been around for hundreds of years. The first bead crafts were probably related to adorning clothing with thousands of tiny beads, but artists soon discovered the many opportunities using beads: crafts for other items such as baskets, jars, and ornaments. There are many wonderful examples of bead crafts in museums around the world! But beaded crafts don't have to be big and elaborate. In fact, you probably have everything you need right now to sit down and start creating a beautiful and unique beaded craft of your own. Turn an ordinary object into a treasure by adding some beads! Use beads to craft fabulous Easter eggs and add sparkle to your next egg hunt. And who hasn't admired those lovely beaded ornaments that turn up during the winter holidays?
