PROJECT C652
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Beginner

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

  1. To see how to make these ornaments, please watch the video: How to Use the Beadsmith Holiday Wire Form Set.
  2. In this video you will see how to add beads to the outer wire form, finish the form, and add decorative accents using the wire provided in the kits and an assortment of beads.
  3. Tip: Bead mixes work great for this project as you get a lot of beads in a variety of colors that you can fill your forms with. Do not try to do all of your wire wrapping accents with one length of wire, cut the wire (that comes with the forms) into short lengths just as long as you need them to be for each wire/bead accent.
  4. Feel free to recreate the patterns you see in the photos and the video but also have fun and let your imagination run wild. As long as the beads stay on the forms, there is no wrong way to make these ornaments - add as many or as few beads as you want.
