DIY Crystal Bouquets (pic working!!!)

So I posted ysterday about the crystal bouquet and today I went to work. Of course its just me playing around, but I think I like the way they came out. And it fits my snowflake theme better than some roses would!

Re: DIY Crystal Bouquets (pic working!!!)

well i cheated...haha

Michaels has christmas garland with the beads already on it. I went there thinking I was going to hand twist everything. But instead I sniped the beads and twisted new wire around it. It took about 1 1/2 hours to make 1 which isn't bad and it cost about $15.
