Description

In Louisiana everyone has Mardi Gras Beads this time of year. Here's something really pretty to do with them.

Instructions

  1. Trace a template or draw a design on foam board.

  2. You can either use strands of beads or cut beads apart to make them fit closer. Glue beads to your design. Be generous with your glue.

  3. Once your design is done sprinkle with glitter. This will stick to the glue and fill in your design and really make it POP! Leave edges of board blank if you plan on framing your piece of bead art.
