“Options, options, options! So excited for holiday canes! The holly leaves and berries are lovely. I can’t wait!” ~Phoenix-F<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Yes there is still a fair amount of time until Christmas, but I wanted to show you another quick idea for using the Holly Leaf and Berry Canes<\/a><\/span> that I discussed the other day. Just want to get your festive creativity going before the holiday season gets into full swing.<\/span><\/p>\n Options, options, options! One of the many things that I enjoy about the tutorials and projects is that they can be used to make almost anything you want. One project’s techniques could be used to spawn several other creations. And of course, everyone has their own take on the current projects. So excited for holiday canes! The holly leaves and berries are lovely. I can’t wait!<\/span> ~Phoenix-F<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’ve shown you a few “Christmasy” ideas so far, including some Holly Berry Focal Beads<\/a>, a Christmas Necklace<\/a> and now this cute little Christmas Candy Cane Charm.<\/span><\/p>\n I decided not to put a bail on this little charm so that I could leave my options open for being able to use it in different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n A bail could be added to make it into a small pendant, earring, cell phone charm or even a Christmas tree ornament. Wire wrapping also would look good. Or it could become an embellishment for card making, scrap booking, gift wrapping etc. etc. <\/span><\/p>\n Don’t you just love the limitless possibilities of polymer clay!<\/span><\/p>\n How about showing us some Christmas ornaments you have made in the past.<\/span> ~Freda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Did you know this blog is now heading into it’s second Christmas season. What that means is there are lots of holiday ideas for you to discover in blog posts and comments from last year. To discover them, use the search box at the top of the page, with keywords like: Christmas, ornament, gifts, stocking, holiday or whatever other topic you like.<\/span><\/p>\n If you find something in an older blog post that is helpful for you, what you could do is post the date of that older article in the comments section below, along with a sentence or two about why you thought the idea was useful.<\/span><\/p>\n After you post your comment below, I will then add a hot link so others can click directly to the older information that you found.<\/span><\/p>\n As you should know by now, this site is all about friends helping each other out. I can’t wait to see what you guys end up finding with this fun little (educational)<\/em> exercise. \n “Options, options, options! So excited for holiday canes!
