Tutorial: Beaded Ornament Hooks

I'm super excited about this Beaded Ornament Hook tutorial!!  They're functional and gorgeous too, not to mention super quick and easy to make!!

Step 1: GATHER SUPPLIES
8"+ length of 20g wire
Round & needle nose pliers
Assorted beads
Bic or Sharpie marker

Step 2: FORM HOOK
At one end of your wire make a loop with your round nose pliers.

Wrap the wire around the marker's cap once.

Bend the wire downward as shown above.

Step 3: ADD BEADS
Add approximately 1" of beads.

Step 4: FORM BOTTOM SPIRAL
 Bend the wire at a 90-degree angle.

 Wrap the wire around the marker cap 2 or more times.

Using your round nose pliers form into a spiral.
Trim off any excess wire.

FINISHED!!


Thanks for reading!! Until next time...

  9. Our Red Hat group has an ornament exchange every year. These would make a fantastic favor for everyone in the group to use with their new ornaments. Thanks.
