Since I am not using any glass balls on the tree, I wanted to make sure that the tree still has some sparkle. I accomplished this by making some tree jewelry.
I found these Gem Stones and Gem Drops at Z Gallerie a few years. They are acrylic instead of crystal but they are faceted and they do sparkle a bit. They could have easily been used as a vase filler but they came with holes in them also to allow them to be strung up for garland or such. So I used my jewelry making supplies and extra beads to create a number of these drop ornaments.
I think they add just the bit of sparkle I was looking for.

Get it with those "earrings" on the tree!
How beautiful! That's a great idea for all those spare beads I have gathering dust, and the kids might actually like to help! Thanks!
Great idea - I am going to have to borrow this one for sure! I just started following your lovely blog - I don't know why it took me so long!
