2 Tiered Beaded Ornamant

Here is a real quick easy ornament - it turns out pretty small - perfect for hanging on a tree! or you could even make these as attachments to your gifts as a small embellishment!

Instructions:

Cut (6) Red patterned pieces 3 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (6) Green patterned paper pieces 3 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (4) Red patterned pieces 2 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Cut (4) Green patterned paper pieces 2 in long and 1/2 in wide.

Once cut - poke or punch a small hole in each end, centering the hole about 1/4th in from each end. Use a bone folder to sort of train the paper into a bended crescent or "moon" shape (see photo). Take a 2 in head pin and feed all 12 of the 3 inch pieces onto it. make sure you go red/green/red/green and keep the pattern of the paper facing down as you add them. Now carefully - take the bottom (first one) paper and fold up, insert opposite ends hole onto the head pin. Repeat with the next piece of cardstock and the next until you have a complete "ball" created.

Repeat the same process with all of the 2 in pieces, creating another smaller 'ball'. Use a pair of jewelry pliers to finish off the 2 in head pin with a loop. From here you can add some beads to dangle from the ornament. From the other end of the headpin, add a piece of ribbon to use as a hanger.

Finished ornament is about 2in x 3in.
