DIY Ribbon and Beads Christmas Tree Ornaments Materials: Ribbon Beads and seed beads Ruler thin point marker or pen scissors, thread and a needle Directions: Cut the ribbon into a 19″ (48cm) strip. With a thin point marker, mark a dot 2″ (5cm) from the end. From that dot, mark dots along the ribbon spacing them apart. Double thread your needle and insert it into the first dot that was marked at 2″(5 cm), then add a bead and a seed bead. Come back through the bead and the ribbon to secure the bottom of the tree. Add another bead and go through the next dot. Continue adding beads and going through your dots until you have 4 loops on each side. Once you are through your last dot, you are ready to add the bead (and a seed bead to secure it) that will represent the star. Go through the “star” bead and seed bead, then come back through just your big bead (not the seed bead). Then go back through both beads. Cut the needle off and tie the ends together to form a loop. Trim back the tips of the ribbon. You are done!
