Monsterbubble's Joyeux Noel
2007 JCO issue
Wichelt Tropical Green
called for floss colors
Stitched June 2013
Only one problem. When I put together the flat finish, it wasn't totally flat. So I needed something to help me fudge a little. Like ribbon. I used Mona's directions for doing a beaded ribbon edging. But I used way more beads. It took forever to load up all the pins (63 of them!), but not nearly as much time to stick them into the ribbon and then into the ornament. But I love how this came out.

Hi Nikki, I am loving your daily blogs and today's is a really great idea. Even I might manage something like this;-)
Have a great weekend.
Absolutely gorgeous! What a great finish.
Gorgeous finish Nikki.

It's so exuberant! Like fireworks of beads coming off it. But also looks like a lot of work and time and focus. Well done, you!
Excellent...I love what you are doing with your pieces. Glad to be of a "little" help.
I agree with Beth - exuberant is the word! There are a LOT of beads around that ornie. Very New Year's Eve with the fireworks displays.
Very fancy finish!
Wow, that looks fantastic!
Me too I will check out Mona's Directions, but it looks like it took a long time. But really makes a difference to the finish
Wow, that's a spectacular finishing idea!
I love everything about this finish! The fabric and threads, the beads <3 (is there such a thing as too many beads? I don't think so.) Beautiful piece.
Cute finish!
