beads?

Okay, I need some ornamet ideas for my mom.

Her girlscout troop is supposed to make some simple ornaments to hand out to the old folks at a nursing home. Any suggestions would be good, but she has these beads that she would really like to use because they're red white and green, and really wouldnt use them for anything but something x-masy. She already thought of making those things where you string beads on wire and form it into the shape of a candy cane, but nothing else original or fun so far. By the way, the beads are sort of roundish, but the have flat edges all over the place. So if anyone can think of anything for her, that would be great.

By the way, any basic craft supplies you could probably think of to use, my mom most likely has. She's a craft junkie. :) Thanks again!
