Santa Bag Wood Bead Garland

Santa Claus brings all his goodies in a real magical bag. There's only one of those, but you can have a Santa bag of your own. That's what this Santa Bag wood beaded garland is all about. Check out those giant white wood beads - do they remind you of snowballs? 

The front of the Santa bag is hand painted in different shades of red. I used darker colors to shade the ruffles on the bag and white paint to add a few highlights.  A Dec. 25 wood cutout is painted white and attached to the front of the bag. Turn this piece over and you'll find a lovely little Santa stenciled in white.  He's saying HO-HO-HO (adorable). A golden woven cord is wrapped and knotted on the Santa bag (a lovely touch that makes all the difference).

The natural wood beads are hand painted in red or white.

The Santa bag, beads, and tassel are strung on a strong natural jute twine.  The tassel has strips of fabric and/or ribbon wrapped into it.

This wood bead garland is made from natural materials. You may find some differences and imperfections in the materials, 'cause you know mother nature is amazing but not perfect.
