How to Make a Small Beaded Crystal Wreath:
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.

My mother made each one of us kids one of these wreaths and I love it. It’s so beautiful when the light hits it that I want more.
That’s lovely to hear, Yvonne. Homemade ornaments like this are made to make memories!
