DIY Sequin Christmas Ornaments

November 25, 2019 4 Comments

I was lucky enough to attend the USO Spouses Craft Day this month and I learned how to make these sequin ornaments.

The metallic sequins are so pretty and I was quite proud of my creation {and my patience}! I’ve included the photos and instructions below so you can make your own. 

It was a tedious process but I love the end result. Also enjoying some kid free me time with fellow military spouses made it an enjoyable experience. 

Welcome to the 5th annual 12 Days of Holiday Ideas event, hosted by Shirley of Intelligent Domestications  and  Erlene of My Pinterventures

Between Nov. 11th and December 6th there will be hundreds of new ideas shared by over 55 Co-host bloggers! 

Go here to see our kick-off collection of Holiday ideas as well as all of this years talented participating DIY and Foodie Blogs.

Download this years November and December calendars with all of the topics and dates so you can make plans to watch for ideas!

We are hosting a BIG GIVEAWAY from our Sponsors this year! Be sure to scroll all the way down for more information and to enter to win!

12 Days of Holiday Ideas Event Sponsors 2019

What you need:

  • White foam balls
  • 1 pkg Multicolored round metallic sequins {I used 10 mm}
  • 1 pkg glass seed beads {clear or light color}
  • 1 pkg pins
  • ribbon
  • glue

Directions: 

  1. Pour sequins and seed beads into a small bowl.
  2. Take one pin and thread on {or it may be easier to “scoop” up} a seed bead from the bowl.
  3. Add a sequin on top of the bead then slide the pin into the ball. You can make decorative rows, shapes, or just make it multicolored all over as I did.
  4. Repeat with all the sequins until the entire ball is covered. 
  5. Cut a piece of ribbon your desired length to hang your ornament.
  6. Glue both ends of the ribbon to the top of the ornament to make a loop.
  7. I also glued one a sheer ribbon bow in front of the ribbon loop.
  8. Let dry then hang your pretty creation from your Christmas tree. 

You need a full pack of the 10 mm metallic sequins to make this ornament.

You want to cover it completely. You can make rows of colors, shapes, or multicolored all over like I did.

    That sequin ornament would really shine in the light of the tree. I can see tweens and teens loving making these to give to friends.
