Back several years ago, when I was still working at Michaels.  I picked up some glass ornaments that were left after Christmas.  We use to do all kinds of crafts with these things in the store.  I've made some as Christmas presents over the years.  They make really nice unique ornaments.  No two ever turn out the same way.  I've had several in the Christmas boxes since way back when, intending to make some for myself, but I've just never gotten around to it.

You can put almost anything inside these - garland, tinsel, bells, etc.  This first set I made by filling them with beads.  I think at Michaels we usually used the seed beads, because they are so small and look so nice.  I mostly had bigger beads, so I did two red/green/white mixed, one layered red and green to create stripes (though seeing how often we move, I doubt it stays that way long term), and another with white, and several shades of blue mixed.  The last one that I made was of silver and gold beads of various sizes, but mostly very small beads.  It was pretty heavy, so I actually had glue the top to keep it from pulling loose and falling off the tree.  I think it looks the best though.
I think they turned out really nicely, and I'm glad that I finally got around to decorating them.  Now I just need to get around to actually decorating that gingerbread man ornament that I hang on the tree every year, and every year Britt wants to know why he doesn't have a face and buttons.
