beechnuts

On luzia pimpinella's blog I found these wonderful flowers made from beechnuts, beads and wire. They are absolutely beautiful! We have a beech tree right outside our front door and we have thousands of the nuts in the grass, in the road and on the side walk. So I went out and scooped some up!

(no lie, this is what our sidewalk looks like.)

First I had to make some of the flowers. I made them a little different then luzia pimpinella, but I think they still had a nice charm about them.



After I tried my had with the flowers I just had to take the idea and run! And so I did. I made ornaments!

There is nothing like home made ornaments and I feel that these turned out particularly wonderful.



They are fun and easy, so if you've got a beech tree that annoys you when it drops it's nuts, now you have a use for them!
