This homemade Christmas ornament idea is perfect as an ornament - or adornment. A little bead stringing wire will hold the beads. You can add an ornament hook and place them on the tree or add them to SilverSilk Capture Chain or Soft Flex Beading Wire and wear them to the office. They make an incredible accent to any ugly sweater party at the office!
This lariat certainly looks like Christmas jewelry. But the colors are ambiguous enough that you could wear this any time of the year! Wouldn't a frosty necklace be fun in the summer? Nobody has to know the color palette you used was fashioned by elves.
Absolutely stunning! Nealay has a wonderful and thoughtful jewelry sense. Wouldn't this be an exquisite addition to your tree or jewelry collection?
