Christmas is the time of amusement, and if you are a fan of beading and bead craft, then you can utilize your passion for the hobby to fuel complete new appearance for your home this holiday season with a collection of free beadwork! If you are looking for fun Christmas beading ideas to add to the festive look to your home this December 25, then keep reading and we will outline five Christmas projects you can try!

1 – Candy Canes – Simple and appealing as beadwork go, you do not need much in the way of supplies to make these, and the designs are kid-friendly to boot! The excellent news is that with even a modest stock of supplies, you\’ve possibly got everything you require to make many of these with supplies on hand, and they make great decorations for your Christmas tree!

2 – Christmas Trees – Little miniature trees can be made quickly and effortlessly, with or without \”decorations\” (you can use multi-colored glass beads sewn around the tree design in different locations for a gorgeous effect!). One more kid-friendly design that comes together fairly quickly!

3 – Wreaths – Similar to the tree design, above, but a little more composite, and as such, possibly not as \”child friendly\” (because they take slightly more time to execute and see the results of your efforts, smaller kids might get frustrated before they are finished). Still, it is a fantastic little project that looks attractive when finished! Buy several shades of green seed beads to create shadow and texture in your pieces, and highlight with red bits of holly.

4 – Angels – A moderately more tricky piece (and again, something that younger children may not have the patience for), the simplest patterns to work with display angels in profile. Purchase different shades of white, silver, and gray to create a dimensional effect in your pieces. These look great on the tree!

5 – Snowflakes – Of all the beading ideas mentioned here, the snowflake pattern is the toughest one to get right. This is certainly not a pattern that small children could help with, as these can get fairly complicated. They make among the most gorgeous and striking decorations on the tree, however, and if you\’ve got the skill level and patience for it, you will be well rewarded for your hard work! Executing one pattern well is (or can be) a somewhat daunting task, but if you are feeling specially adventurous, you could try making each snowflake on your tree unique! It\’s a tall order, but can obviously be done, just be ready to dedicate quite lots of time to the task!

As you can see from just the 5 beadwork above, there are all kinds of fun holiday beading projects you can sink your teeth into, and this list only barely scratches the surface!
