Upgrade your holiday style with beads Holiday wire forms from The Beadsmith make great Christmas ornaments when decorated with seed beads and fire-polished beads. Choose your favorite colors to perfectly tailor these ornaments to your holiday style.
Thread the TOHO 8/0 silver-lined crystal bead rounds onto the star wire form from The Beadsmith wire shape assortment pack. Please note for all of the ornaments that you'll want the coverage of beads on the wire to be a little bit loose, or spread out, because when you wrap the rows of fire-polished beads to the inside of the frame, the beads on the frame come closer together and the coverage is tighter. If you find that the beads are becoming too tight as you add the fire-polished beads, you can break seed beads as necessary with a pair of pliers. Our frame has 126 seed beads on it. Once you have added your seed beads, bend the frame ends and trim to secure the beads.
Add the TOHO 6/0 antique bronze bead rounds to the bell wire form. Our frame has 95 seed beads on it. Trim the ends of the wire and fold over to secure the beads. Use a piece of wire to connect the two ends together.
Add seed beads from the Artbeads Rose Gold Designer Blend to the heart wire form. Our frame has 158 seed beads on it. Trim the ends of the wire and fold over to secure the beads. Use a piece of wire to connect the top of the heart together where the two sides touch.
Note: You can use the heart ornament as a decoration for Valentine's Day, too.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
