Has anyone ever made these without a kit?
I am looking at these
Colors of Faith Beaded Ornament (http://www.orientaltrading.com/otcweb/application?namespace=browse&mode=Browsing&origin=/products/48_3294.jsp&event=link.externalProductDetails&sku=48/3294&topLevelCategoryId=376640&parentCategoryId=376663&categoryId=376691&tabId=Beading&cm_mmc=srchdex-_-COLORS+OF+FAITH+BEADED+ORNAMENT+CRAFT-_-srchdex-_-srchdex&CM_REF=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fhl%3 Den%26q%3Dcolors%2Bof%2Bfaith%2Bornament)
I would really, really like to make them for some gifts but I have to have them done by next Monday Night, like 5 days from now I guess. There is no way I can get the ones in the link on time.
How hard would it be to do it myself, without a kit?
Does anyone know how I could make the card by myself?

You should be able to buy all the supplies at a craft store, like Joann's, Hancock Fabrics, even Walmart. Most have a "bead" isle. I'd get some wire and the beads and go to it. Copy a picture of the one on-line and print it off as a guide. As far as the card, it looks just like the Wordless Book that I grew up with as a kid. You could make your own card and maybe have the kids color it with the appropriate colors

Yellow = God and Heaven
Black = Sin/Separation from God
Red = Blood of Christ
White = Cleansing of our sins
Blue = Baptism
Green = Growing in Christ
I'm not sure what the purple is to represent, you may be able to find it on google.

Depending on your talent, it could be easy or take a little while. I don't think it's too hard to make. Might take a little practice.
