Herbs and Dragonflies formed in early 2008 to run a stall at Pudsey Carnival where children could plant a herb in a pot and make a model dragonfly for free. We also set up this blog to provide further craft and gardening ideas
We have attended and organised lots more events since, see our online diary to find out more. If you have any questions you can leave us a comment on the blog or email us at HerbsAndDragonflies @ yahoo.co.uk

Bead Christmas decorations
Big jewellery is in. But it goes out, or breaks, or you accidentally buy far more necklaces than you have necks. If you have costume jewellery you don’t wear, recycle it into Christmas decorations. Dangly earrings can be hung on the tree as they are, and several necklaces can be fastened together to drape around a small-ish tree. If you have bead jewellery you can unstring it to create lots of different things. Tie a knot in some string, thread on a large bead and some smaller beads and tie the end in a loop to create some nice simple decorations like these.
Thread beads onto pipe cleaners instead and you can bend them to create spiral or star shaped decorations. If you have very small beads and thin wire, you can make more intricate shapes, and maybe some butterflies and dragonflies.
