Steps
Choose your ornament style
Christmas ornaments can come in a wide variety of shapes. We’ve gone with a circle, but you can choose a star, a tree, or whatever you like.
Cut the length of wire and feed the beads through
Cut a length of wire using your pliers. Bend one end of the wire and thread the beads through.
Create the shape
Once the beads are on, bend the wire to create your desired shape and secure the end by twisting and clamping the wire together using pliers.
Add macramé cord
Cut small lengths of the macramé cord and tie knots in between beads. Repeat until the entire circle is complete.
Create a hook
We need to create a hook so that we can hang the ornament. Cut a larger length of cord, thread it through the circle and tie a knot at the end to create the hook.
Fray the end of the macramé cord
To finish, trim the cord to your desired length and then fray the ends to make it look pretty.
