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.

This is beautiful. I was thinking about gluing a pin back on it and making it into a pin.

[@Potomacbeadco]

That is a great idea

Getting started early on Christmas gifts this year! Working on my third wreath with metallic seed beads. Made one with blues with silver and another with different green colored beads. Have all sorts of combinations planned.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Wonderful!

[@sue7777]

Just how cute and fun to make is this wreath?!? Now, I really have to work on choosing beads randomly... Love this project. Thanks, Anna, for sharing it with us.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you so much

[@nancyrosenthal2696]

I agree - a pin would be great! Anna, LOVE the look & everything you did (and I always do! )👍

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you so much

[@heatherstewart768]

I had such fun making this! It put me behind on my advent calendar a bit, but it was so worth it. I made a loop with the beads and a crystal and put it on my tree. Thank you to you and Allie and everyone at PBC for making this a wonderful holiday season. 💖🎄

[@debbieevans5884]

This would make a lovely pendant for a necklace if you glued a bit of suede to the back to cover up the thread paths. Beautiful wreath, thank you so much for the tutorial.

[@Potomacbeadco]

It would be a fun pendant!

How big is the wooden ring?

[@Potomacbeadco]

It is almost 2 inches or 50 mm around.

[@dreed5530]

Cute idea but much of the supplies, including the kit, on the list are out of stock. Too bad. Would have liked to make it.

[@Potomacbeadco]

If you look most of the items have found their way back

[@dreed5530]

@@Potomacbeadco I did just check and out of the 8 items required, 5 are OOS, not including the kit. I'll keep checking. Maybe next year all needed items will be in stock. Merry Christmas

[@patriciablue2739]

Already out of stock. Not a kit. Expensive.

[@Potomacbeadco]

It is back in stock and if you need help feel free to email [e-mail]
