    Quick Project Steps

    Learn how to create a wreath with fringes and festive flair in this PotomacBeads tutorial. The Evergreen Seed Bead Wreath uses a wooden form and is a full bodied beaded project with a great texture.
    1. Put a bead from your project onto the thread as a stop bead. Bring the needle up through a hole on the outer ring in the wooden form from the underside. Pick up 5 seed beads, count 3 holes forward and sew down. (It will be on the inside ring). Backtrack one hole and bring the needle back up. Pick up another 5 seed beads, count 3 holes and sew down. Continue the pattern around the wooden form.
    2. Watch the Evergreen Seed Bead Wreath tutorial to follow along with Anna as she shows you step-by-step how to create and embellish the beaded ornament.
    3. Bring the needle and thread to an outside hole at the top of the wreath. Pick up about 15-20 seed beads to create a loop. Pass back through the first seed bead and the hole in the wooden form. Reinforce the loop. Use the loop to attach an ornament hanger or ribbon.
    You can add as much crystal bling as you’d like to fill out the fringe branches. The Evergreen Seed Bead Wreath makes a great holiday gift and is a fun way to get into the spirit of the season.
