Beaded Covers for Christmas Balls

 

I did these four ball covers in December 1999, using craft-store beads and mostly my own patterns, although the gold one was made after a picture in a Beadbox catalog. The silver one was my modification of a hex mesh pattern from another book, because I don't have any size 10 silver bugle beads. This was a fun project, sort of like eating peanuts, and I'd like to make more.
