I gathered together some of my favorite woodland themed art beads, steel wire and sari ribbon to create a series of ornaments for my tree this year. I used simple wire wrapping to create wrapped loops above and below the beads. The beads are strung on 6″ of 21 gauge steel wire. The hooks were created with 8″ of 19 gauge steel wire.
Be sure to stop back here tomorrow for the December Monthly Challenge
and on Thursday we start our popular 12 Days of Christmas with free
projects from our contributors and special guest bloggers!
Head on over to see the rest of the festive decorations created by jewelry designers and bead makers. Happy Holidays!

December 4, 2012 at 3:49 pmI love these sweet ornaments, Heather… I leave in Atlantic Canada where walking in the snowy woods is a Holiday tradition (if we can ever get some snow!)
Due to an email malfunction I didn't get a chance to send you my link this weekend. I posted my ornament anyway and I'm going to leave my link here. If you're unable to add it to your post, I'll understand. I'm going to enjoy hopping regardless!
