Beaded Christmas Ornament Cover (Post 3)

Next steps (almost to the finish line!)

Written Instructions Part Four:

We left off bringing our needle through the bottom Accent bead of the last small loop we made.

Pick up one Bugle Bead (I used green), 1 red Accent, 1 Bugle, 1 Accent and 1 Bugle

Bring your needle through the same 1 red Accent bead you started at in the bottom of the loop. It should look something like this:

.X <—Red Accent Bead at bottom of small round circle form the last step.

Go back down through the same Diamond until and go through the bottom red Accent bead.

Pick up 1 Bugle, 1 Accent, 1 Bugle and 5 Accent Beads

That makes the fringe.

Make your way back up through the beads to reach the bottom Accent Bead of the next small round circle.

Repeat all steps until you finish back where you started. That’s it. Go through the 1 Red Accent Bead and tie a Surgeon’s knot.

Weave your way through a bunch of beads. Tie another knot and cut thread. Next: Remember the tail of thread from the start of your project? Thread your needle on the tail, weave your way through various beads, tie a knot you can thread through more beads if you want and the cut.

You can dab your knots with glue or clear nail polish. You may also want to hide them by gently pushing a bead over them. You are finished.

Don’t forget, you can always add any other touches you would like to this. More fringe, or add beaded designs.

Finished! Let’s tie off and have a look:
