Wire Ornament
How to Make
Your Own Christmas Ornaments
This wire ornament is a fun craft project to make, and a
great way to use up extra pieces of colored wire. If you like
to make jewelry, you will be good at this craft. These
ornaments can be made in any shape, using a cookie cutter as a
template. I have found that stars, Christmas trees, and
gingerbread men look great too.
Things Needed:
- Cookie cutter in the shape you want your
ornament to be
- Wire cutters and jewelry pliers
- 18 gauge craft wire, in color of choice
- 24 or 20 gauge craft wire, in various
colors
- assorted beads (optional)
1. Begin the ornament by wrapping the 18 gauge wire
around the cookie cutter shape, very tightly. Push the wire
into any grooves to help mold it into the shape. Using
jewelry pliers twist the ends together to secure, then cut off the
excess with wire cutters. Remove the cookie cutter.
2.
Beginning with the smaller gauge wire, twist it on the frame
of the ornament using the jewelry pliers to secure.
3. Begin to wrap the wire around the frame in various
directions. Once in awhile, thread on some beads here and
there for an interesting effect.
 
4.
When you get to the end of the wire, twist it a few times
around the frame of the ornament using the jewelry pliers, to secure.
5.
Repeat with other colors of wire, if you wish, securing it
the same way. Attach a ornament hook or pretty ribbon for
hanging on the tree.
