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.
What size beads do you use. 12mm, 18mm or what.
Please advise,
Thank you.

As Christmas decorations go, these are very durable.

They sound lovely - please does anyone know where I can buy the beads?
Thanks & best wishes, Lucy
The beads are quite common here, and you can buy them at most large craft stores or bead stores. I imagine the same would be true in England.
