Make your own beaded ornaments that look like the real thing!
Antique ornaments are expensive to acquire, but if it’s the look you are after, you can achieve it for much less.
Sarah Freeman shared a DIY to create the beautiful, detailed bobbles with your own creative spin.
DIY Vintage Beaded Ornaments
SUPPLIES
- Styrofoam balls and/or cones
- Pins – any variety, but the long ones are trickier
- Beads – seed beads, larger beads
- Sequins – any variety
- Ribbon for hanging
INSTRUCTIONS
- Attach the ribbon to the top with pins
- Stack your pins with beads and sequins for a more dramatic effect
- Sequins go last on your pin
- The larger the sequin, the more space it will fill
- Longer pins run the risk of going through your styrofoam
- At the top of the Christmas trees, aim the pin down, not through so that it doesn’t poke out
- Kids can use sequin glue instead of pins
