Filigree Star Ornament

Tammy Powley
Filigree stampings can be used to make quick holiday ornaments that you can either hang from your tree or attach to a gift for a little extra adornment. In just a few minutes, you can add a little wire and beads to complete this simple star ornament.

You will need the following tools and equipment:

*1 Filigree star component
**1 Lampwork bead
2 - 4mm Red beads
3 inches of 22-gauge Copper wire
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers

*The filigree star component was provided by Guyot Brothers.
** The lampwork bead was furnished by D.D. Hess.

1. With the copper wire, make a wrapped loop on the end, slip the filigree star into the loop, and finish by wrapping the wire around itself.

2. Thread on one 4mm bead, the lampwork bead, and another 4mm bead onto the wire. 3. Make another wrapped loop on the other end of the wire. 5. If desired, add a piece of ribbon through the top loop of the ornament so you can hang it from a tree or just use a wire hook.
