I finished this Miss Crescent's Crowne ornament today, finally...the one with the forgotten stuffing.I love the extra-large beads. I love the hanger. I just love how this looks.

You'll notice that I also made a beaded hanger. I marked the halfway point across the top of the design, and when I got there, I just strang extra beads to a length that, when folded in half, appeared to be long enough to hang on a branch. Then I kept right on whipstitching the edges. Simple enough.

Loving these finishes--this one is quite attractive, especially those larger beads.
Very nifty finish - compliments the style of the ornament very nicely.
Lovely. Looks so simple but I'm sure it's not! The white really sets off that gorgeous fabric.
Just as Justine said, the white beads and the green fabric are a great match.
Such a cute finish!
Another super finish! I really like how your larger beads make the ornament pop.

I always love a beaded edge! Thanks for the links. :)
The green fabric is very pretty and the large beads look very forgiving of less than perfect sewing. Mine, not your's!!
