I make these for fun every once in a while - just something pretty that holds your cuttings while they are rooting.

Julia,
This is what we hung in the trees for my DS and DIL's outdoor wedding reception. It was SO cool.....

those would be fun to make to hang in my apple trees in the summer as vases when I have tea parties.

Yes, they do take a lot of time for the money - I doubt anyone wants to pay $50 for these things. I thought I could use them as garden club raffle money raisers and stuff like that. I've made napkin rings by using a toilet paper roll - very pretty - and I can bead chair cushions and hemlines and all sorts of stuff.

So pretty! You did a great job.
I did something similar but on a much smaller scale....beaded votive candle holders. Actually, it was one holder....it took so long that I never made another one. They really do come out pretty. Thought about selling them when I first saw the "how to". But, way too much time for a little bit of money. They'd have to sell for $50 for the time! But, well worth it for yourself or as a gift to a like minded loved one.
Show more pics of other treasures you make!
Blessings

About nine hours I guess - I usually use the little Indian seed beads but thought the larger ones would work ok here on this bottle. |

I saw something beaded the old Victorian way once - basically you have half the number of beads needed to go around once - and you have to keep your thread tight else it won't work -then loop each new bead between two of each on that first row of 32 (as was in this bottle, pull tight, and keep going around. It takes a lot of time tho. |
