Quick and Easy Ornament Hangers


Want a great way to use that leftover Artistic Wire? Try making ornament hangers! It’s a great way to use those few extra inches of wire from another project.

Choosing your Wire

You can use any gauge wire you’d like, although we found that 18 gauge works the best to make a sturdy hanger. If you’re using smaller gauge wire, you can twist them to make a stronger hanger. You don’t want any ornaments hitting the floor!

Stringing the Beads

String your beads directly onto the wire. Shape the wire into a hook, and curl the wire at the ends to prevent the beads from sliding off. Now you’re ready to hang your ornaments!

    Fantastic! Using seed beads on the hangars makes this inexpensive and the extra beads and crystals will really play off the lights on your tree. Thanks! :)

    These are so pretty. I’ve been looking for a “template” for ear wires/cuffs. I think these would be a good starting point. Inspiration
