This beaded segment of this project is demonstrated in the video: How to Make a Beaded Christmas Ornament Topper.
To make the chain "hook" to hang from your tree, you will want to cut 6 - 8 inches of chain. Open a jump ring and link this to both ends of the chain as well as your ornament top. Close the jump ring.
Happy Holidays!
