You can use your jewelry making skills to make this pretty Curly Crystal Ornament to adorn your holiday tree. The design is simple and the variety of beads you use in endless combinations make this a versatile ornament. It’s so easy, you could use this technique, use larger beads, and have your kids make them with you.

You’ll need:

craft wire (mine is 34 gage)
2 6mm crystal beads
some seed beads
1 head pin
shallow bowl
wire cutters
round nosed pliers
flat/bent nosed pliers
ring mandrel or wooden dowel
