Heirloom Holiday Ornament
Project Map
Project and Sample by Kate Richbourg
A little vintage sparkle for your handmade holidays! Create a keepsake ornament inspired by treasured glass ornaments and glittering holiday tinsel, with shimmering chartreuse, warm gold, rich amethyst, and iridescent jewel tones.
Kate’s take on our Merry ornament project pairs the Holiday Heirloom Ornament Bead Mix with 24-gauge ParaWire. Miyuki Drops, Miyuki Long Drops, and Czech glass Baroque two-hole cabochon beads bring together rounded shapes, textured surfaces, and light-catching finishes.
Choose your favorite wire finish: Antique Copper, Gold, Silver, Bare Copper, Titanium, or Vintage Bronze. Make an ornament to treasure year after year, or share a little handmade holiday magic with someone special.
Project supplies: Holiday Heirloom Ornament Bead Mix and your choice of 24-gauge ParaWire. Bead mix and wire sold separately.
