Does anyone know any websites that have craft ideas using mardi gras beads?

Dec 01, 2006 by msbeeautch2u | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts

I have tons of beads for Mardi Gras, love and art and craft, but can not find any ideas what I can do with them. Has anyone ever encountered any websites that might have ideas ... or does anyone out there have any ideas themself?

I saw a few times mosaics made entirely from beads bright Mardi Gras ... they are fabulous! Unfortunately, I do not picture working woman now, but here are some others who do mosaics with the beads of Mardi Gras:

You might make curtains for the doors or windows. You string the beads from the top of the door frame, allowing them to hang just about two to four inches from the threshold.

A bead skirt might also be an idea you could experiment with.

Because you never know what might happen. As when a confrontation with the church in a small community 40 miles north of Houston nearly turned violent. What was uncertain argument is about or over-designing the new tower, which was supposed to preach that day, nor the conflicting claims, but it supposedly led to a small boy proclaiming that he would "cut the corner and shoot through the bushes" to opponents of his family.
