  2. First of all put a seed bead onto your straight pin, then a bugle bead, then a rocaille, and last of all the sequin.
  3. Closeup of pin with the beads and sequin.
     

  4. *If you want to make sure the pins stay in place well, put just the very tip of the pin into the glue, then stick into the Styrofoam ball.
  5. Side view of ornament in process.
     

  6. Continue this same procedure, making sure you overlap enough to completely cover the ball, so you don't see any of the Styrofoam.
  7. Top down view of ornament in process.

  8. For hanging, place a length of thread on one of the pins with some glue to make sure it is secured well.

Note: The ornaments are also very pretty when used in an arrangement, wreath, or garland. For an arrangement use a skewer and either stick it right into the Styrofoam or wire the ornament to it, then place into your arrangement or carefully wire the ornaments to your wreath or garland. Finished ornament hanging.

More ideas here...
Pink would be nice for breast cancer awareness or to remember a lost loved one, or you could make some in your favorite football team's colors to put on your Christmas tree. They also make a nice stocking stuffer, and really pretty on a package or container. :-)
