This Freeform Wire Christmas Ornament just popped out by itself following on the fun making of the Freeform Wire Wrap Pendant and Earrings in copper.
Wire Christmas Ornament (ch0292/syl)
This kind of freeform wire wrapping is very rewarding: you never know what is going to turn out and surprise you. And it also offers a perfect opportunity to use up those loose and unused leftover beads in various shapes. And if you can feel Christmas fast approaching, then it is the perfect time for a wire Christmas ornament.
TIP:
- using a combination of wires gives it extra character and interest.
- brass wire, as a base, is perfect as it is normally much stiffer than copper or silver. And as it tarnishes (albeit slowly), it yields more character.

I love copper and the blues and greens on this one really stand out! I enjoy doing wire work too. It is fun and so is this Christmas ornament. BJ
