Beaded Crystal Wreath
These beaded wreath ornaments are so easy to do that you may want to make a bunch of them to decorate the Christmas tree.
In a similar fashion, you could also make companion Beaded Wreaths or Candy Canes or Crystal Swirl Ornaments.

Aluminum or Brass wire
Sunburst or Tri Beads of choice [any size will work]
Needle nose pliers
Ribbon bow
How to:
The amount of beads will depend on the desired size. For this wreath, I used 24 Sunburst beads.
Cut a piece of wire about one inch larger than the desired finished size for your wreath.
Feed your beads onto the wire. Using pliers, twist the wire to secure the circle of beads.
The use of sunburst or tri-beads will help in forming a perfect circle for the wreath as these beads lock into each other.
Cut away any excess wire and attach a small ribbon bow with either wire or hot glue.

Try weaving a narrow piece of lace between each bead as you go around! It snazzies it up a bit.

We are planning to make about 80 of these wreaths, possibly a little larger, to use as napkin ring favors for my daughter'w wedding.

Wow - that's a lovely idea. A lot of work, but well worthwhile I would think. What lucky guests!
