The Winding Ribbon Tree Ornament is decorated with beads to give nice detail to our 3rd in our 12 days of Christmas series! Today I have a very simple, but VERY lovely ornament tutorial.
This is a picture tutorial and pattern showing step by step the creating and assembly process.
By simply making a crochet ribbon by doing a Foundation Half Double Crochet and curling it back and forth, separating each section by beads, you end up with this tiny tree. I did a Foundation Half Double Crochet of 120 stitches.
Follow along with this video to learn how to do the Foundation Half Double Crochet:
Perfect for hanging on the branches of your Christmas tree or adorning the top of your holiday gifts, this easy handmade detail will be sure to wow everyone this season!
This entire process from start to finish will take you less than 30 minutes, but looks like you spent a lot more time than that making this ornament.
Make these in a variety of colors to give your tree a bright and festive look!

Below is a fun checklist of things found in a yarn bag! We carry our lives around in our totes and this game gives points for all the things we can find in there! Take a moment to go through your bags and tally your points for this activity. What is the craziest thing you have in your bag today?? How many points did you get??
Here’s My Score: 148 Points!
This activity was prompted because I was cleaning up my bag and found some packets of hot sauce and a diaper in my yarn tote! LOL I realized that I can’t be the only one who has this problem. I remembered playing a “What’s In Your Bag?” game at a bridal shower some time ago, and decided to make a game out of this to share with all of you!
Walks on the beach, summer concerts in the park, or weddings on the sandy coast, are all the perfect occasions for barefoot sandals. I show how to use beads and feathers to adorn this pair of lace up tribal footwear that is all the rage! Spend your summer in style with this fun accessory!
Although simple to create, these make an impressive fashion statement and give a great free-spirited vibe when you are looking for alternative footwear.
These can be worn bare, or you can dress up a pair of sandals/shoes.
You can chain an amount that you are comfortable with, but the more you chain, the higher you can wrap these up your leg!! You can make them simple and eliminate the beads and feather look. OR, you can add more embellishments like a crocheted flower!! The possibilities are endless.
My dad will continue to be the videographer, editor, and photographer for our videos when I move away.
Support YARNutopia today so we can continue to bring you clear, quality crochet tutorials even after I move into my new home!
There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.

In an earlier post, I had mentioned that Nate bought me yarn this past Christmas. Some may think, “Well that is a no brainer, she crochets, she loves yarn. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!” Right? But to that, I say this: I thought about this man going through yarn types and brands trying to choose the right ones, the best fibers, deciding on variety without a clue as to what he’s doing, except he was doing it because he loves me. It made my heart skip. The picture of this in my mind was incredibly endearing.
Today’s leaf and floral neck lariat necklace is inspired by some of those skeins of yarn and the love behind them. Leaves are symbolic of life and the red flower symbolizes love. So, it is appropriate that it all comes together in this great creative piece. He truly has woven his way right into my heart giving it life. What better way to show that love than through my work?!
You can make this as a belt, as a bunting, garland. You can customize this piece to your own desire. Make it longer, make it shorter, make it in different colors! The possibilities are endless!
