What was your inspiration?

I love things that sparkle - especially on the Christmas tree - and these ornaments certainly do that. The beaded hangers take your ornaments up a notch and will capture and reflect the light beautifully when hanging. PLUS, you can avoid those annoying metal wire hangers as this ornament is complete.

What are you most proud of?

Finding more ways to use beads!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The beaded hangers might be a little tricky for young crafters, but with a little patience it's quite simple. And, if you want to do a project like this with young children, you could always involve them in painting the ornaments.
