Let the lights on your Christmas tree bring out the sparkle in this giant beaded bead ornament. Make some for yourself or give them out as gifts.

Instructions

Before you begin, watch the instructional video: How to Make an Ornate Beaded Bead Using Right Angle Weave Double Needle Method.
Thread a size 10 beading needle with as much white Wildfire beading thread as you are comfortable working with at one time. I like to use about 6 feet. If necessary, tie off and add new thread as you work.
Using 9.5mm round faceted lucite beads and 4mm round fire polish metallic gold beads, create an ornate beaded bead as demonstrated in the video. Tie off and weave in your ends.
Cut a couple of inches off of one of the ends of your crimson red silk ribbon, cutting an upside down "V" shape into the end. Measure about 18" and cut another inverted "V" shape into the other end.
Thread your ribbon through your beaded bead and back out the next opening. Tie a small bow at the top where the ribbons meet to create a loop for hanging your ornament.
