| Cause that's how I roll...with beads and glitter. |

Like many other things, I didn't really have a plan when I started these; I was making Santa ornaments, and the shape I had in my hand looked kind of tree-like. And since I've had nontraditional colors in my brain this Christmas, I went with the cotton batting. To make them stand up, I used those wooden circles (which are actually pieces I scavenged from some game I can't remember that got thrown away years ago) and little shaker pegs with the tenons cut off. The tallest tree is about 6 or so inches high. But that's as far as the idea went, the rest was just getting out the beads and glitter and waiting to see what happened. I do like the one in the front with the bead garland, and the one at the back on the right which has little green plastic leaf beads hanging off of it. I generally am a bead snob and avoid the plastic ones, but these were really cute and I thought SOMEday I would come up with a use for them! The other trees I''m not too excited about. So unless I get slapped with some sort of glittery epiphany, I probably won't make any more. I asked Preston, "so are these cute and funky, or just weird and wrong?" and he said they look like something out of Dr. Seuss. Which is kind of what I was going for, so I win!!!
