Ornament Kit - Shimmer Icicles - Makes 4

Give your Christmas tree the look of shimmering winter ice with four elegant 6-inch icicle ornaments in Crystal AB and subtle Glacier Blue. Iridescent shimmer glass beads, sparkling Aurora crystals and glimmering seed beads create a delicate lacy effect, while two weights of silvery craft wire allow the long beaded icicles to hold their graceful shape. Their frosty finish softens the colour while still producing flashes of light and sparkle, making these ornaments especially beautiful hanging from evergreen branches or in a sunny window.

Each kit includes:

• Pre-made ornament hooks.

• Craft wire.

• Jewellery-quality Aurora crystal beads.

• Iridescent shimmer glass beads.

• Aurora-finish seed beads.

• Easy-to-follow illustrated instructions.

Approx. size of each ornament: 6 in. (15 cm).
Tools needed: Ruler, round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers and jewellery wire cutters.
Approx. time to create: 20–30 minutes per ornament.
Experience needed: Easy for experienced bead crafters and still very approachable for beginners who have the correct jewellery-making tools.
