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!

This project is a simple how-to on crocheting around an ornament. This is a revival of a vintage art and bringing back those homemade ornaments from days gone by. How lovely would it be, as a crocheter, to decorate your tree in a variety of these. It is the perfect way to showcase your work during the holidays! These also make wonderful gifts! Imagine the look on someone’s face when they receive an entire box of these gems!
