Leah and I did these just before the holidays after some inspiration from a friend, Sally Joy, in England. She sent me a picture of this marvelous tree filled with homemade ornaments so I decided I just had to make a few. Leah and I did these together while watching TV. Just need a piece of cork for the center to stick the straight pins into that hold your selection of beads. I painted my corks silver. Try it, soooo easy and would be beautiful any time of year in a window.
