I’m super excited to be participating in the “20 Days of Kid-Made Ornaments” series hosted by Mama Miss.Over 50 bloggers collaborated to bring you twenty days of creative kid-made ornament crafts, and today is Day #11. Be sure to check out the bottom of this post for links to all of the other participating blogs so that you may visit any that you may have missed!
Every year my boys and I make several different kinds of handmade ornaments, and these beaded snowflake ornaments are one of our favorites. They are elegant and beautiful, but they are quick to make and require just a couple of basic supplies!
What You’ll Need:
- Wire snowflake forms
- Assorted beads (make sure the holes are large enough for the wire to fit through!)
- Needle nose pliers
- String or ribbon for hanging
Bead one prong of the wire snowflake form. Leave approximately 1/2″ at the end.
Use the needle nose pliers to bend and close the end of the wire as shown.
Insert a string through the end loop for easy hanging or simply slip an ornament hook through the wire loop. These make fantastic holiday gifts for grandparents, and they look lovely as package toppers too!
Pin these images for later!

Love your blog! Just don’t understand why your blog ALWAYS shows up as “suspected phishing”on my computer!

I’m so sorry about that, Lisa! That’s really strange. Would you mind sharing with me what browser you are using and what program is dinging it as “suspected phishing” so I can investigate it a little further? Thanks!

My Friend made an ornament like this for me a while back and I was wondering how she did it. Well now I know! Thanks so much I love them!
