Sparkle for ornament hangers!

November 27, 2006

Last night I made some wire ornament hangers, thought they turned out pretty well. Today, I decided to improve on the idea, and made some mini-hangers with added beads to lend sparkle and color.

Essentially, the technique is the same. I used 20g wire to be able to string the beads, and since I was going for a smaller version, cut only 3″ of wire. At both ends, I added a tiny loop to keep the beads on the wire. When hammering, be careful not to hammer your beads!

I like the finished product, and they are pretty fast to make. I think at last count, I’d made around 150 since last night over just a couple of hours. If they don’t sell, I guess I have some cool ornament hangers for my own tree!!
