Mardi Gras - Great Beading Project!

The Mardi Gras season begins January 9 and runs through February 20, 2007! There is a long history to Mardi Gras. Its known for its festive atmosphere, carnivals, food and of course beads! Beads play a big part in the Mardi Gras celebrations and are used to decorate everything and everyone - necklaces made of beads are collected and thrown from parade floats. The official colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. Each color has a meaning behind it - purple represents justice, green stands for faith and gold stands for power. To help celebrate this very festive occasion we have for you this uniquely designed Mardi Gras beaded banner pattern, done in the peyote stitch!
