1:: Gather some leaf beads and some red berry beads. Oh, and some 24 gauge wire.
2:: Spell out the word J-O-Y with Simple Truths Simply Charming charms. (Or how about L-O-V-E? or initials of your children?)
3:: Cut the wire into three 3″ lengths. Add three red berry beads alternated with two leaf beads on a wire. Twist to close and wrap the wire ends around the beads, tucking in any stray wire with a pliers.
4:: Attach to the letter charms with jump rings. Attach a pretty ribbon for a hanger. Voila!
