Creating Beaded Christmas Tree Ornaments

Now, let's dive into the process of creating beaded Christmas tree ornaments using a plastic canvas pattern. Here's what you will need:

• Plastic canvas
• Assorted beads in different colors and sizes
• Nylon thread or fishing line
• Needle
• Scissors
• Tree hooks or ribbon

Follow these steps to create your own beaded ornament masterpiece:

1. Start by selecting a plastic canvas pattern that catches your eye. You can find a variety of patterns online or even create your own.
2. Gather your chosen beads, ensuring you have enough to complete the design. Mix and match colors and sizes to add visual interest.
3. Cut the plastic canvas into the appropriate shape and size according to your chosen pattern. You may need to use scissors to trim it to perfection.
4. Thread your needle with nylon thread or fishing line, ensuring it is long enough to complete the entire beaded ornament.
5. Begin by anchoring the thread onto the plastic canvas, leaving a tail that can be later concealed.
6. Start beading by following the pattern, threading the beads onto the thread and securing them onto the plastic canvas. Take your time to ensure each bead is secure and in the right position.
7. Continue beading until you have completed the entire pattern. These ornaments can feature intricate designs, so be patient and meticulous.
8. Once you finish beading, tie a knot at the end of the thread to secure the beads in place.
9. Trim any excess thread or fishing line.
10. Attach a tree hook or ribbon to the top of the ornament for hanging on the Christmas tree.

Stitch this plastic canvas pattern using 7 count plastic canvas mesh, and medium weight yarn.

Plastic canvas is a variation of needlepoint and other canvas work crafts, such as embroidery. Our patterns are designed to use acrylic or wool based yarns in medium or worsted weights. Because plastic canvas mesh is so rigid, it is perfect for creating 3-dimensional objects such as tissue box covers, small jewelry and trinket boxes, handbags, magnets, dolls, vases, napkin holders, wind chimes and many other types of both decorative and useful items. Dancing Dolphin Patterns have full instructions, and large full color charts. 

Plastic canvas comes in different colors and with various size holes for different thicknesses of yarn. As with any textile canvas, the hole size is called count. For example, 10-count plastic canvas mesh has 10 holes per linear inch. The most common sizes are 5, 7, 10, and 14 count. It is sold most often in sheets; pre-cut shapes are available in circles, triangles and novelty shapes such as butterflies, hearts, and stars. Our patterns are designed using 7 count plastic canvas mesh.
