Wire Bead Crosses

So I'm not sure if I've written about these before or not, but I can't find the post so bare with me if it becomes a little deja vu for you...

A few years ago I received a gorgeous hand beaded wire cross from a friend and loved it so much I wanted to learn how to make them as well. So she taught me and for the past couple of years I've made these as gifts for family and a couple of friends. I think these make great gifts for anyone and if you want to learn how to make them I'd be glad to show you because I don't think I could fully explain everything in a post...ha ha

Christmas 2007: the cross given to me that started my obsession

Christmas 2008: my first cross...I gave it to my Mom

Christmas 2009: given to two of my favorite people!

Christmas 2010: given to my Mimi and Aunts

This year I was too busy making wreaths that I didn't get around to making crosses/I didn't know who else to make one for...maybe next year I'll make another one. In the meantime, I have lots of pretty leftover beads to use in new projects (like the ribbon bookmarks!)
