Make a geometric origami garland
If you like folding paper, here's a pretty origami garland to try. Each "bead" takes half a sheet of origami paper. (Preferably a different color on each side.) It's time consuming, but I love how it looks. It's a good, repetitive activity to do while watching Christmas movies you've seen a hundred times.
Learn how to make it from Daily Origami's YouTube video tutorial. The design is by Toshie Takahama.
I didn't have a long enough needle to string them, so I used a piece of thin wire bent double at the end to form a hook. I poked holes in the ends of the beads first with a real needle, then used my make-shift needle to pull the thread through.

So much fun! The garland reminds me of a toy I used to have. Fond memories...
I have been mulling over your painted tree lights. Did you mention how you did it in a past post? I happened to tell my husband that you had painted your lights and he thought it was a great idea! I'm wondering how hard it was and would be. Thanks, Jessica.
Suzanne,
Here's the saga of the tree lights! Taping the bulbs is a pain, but it was worth it.
