In today’s tutorial I’ll show you how to make Christmas tree ornaments with I-cords and wire. They look complicated but are very easy to make. Aren’t they cute?

You’ll need:

• I-cords – made with a knitting nancy or double lucet, or you can crochet or knit I-cords
• wire
• wire cutter and round nose pliers
• needle and scissor

Cut a piece of wire slightly longer than the I-cord and make a loop at one end of the wire. Thread the wire through the I-cord.

Now bend the wire back and forth into a zig-zag shape.

Form the zig-zag into a star.

Wrap the yarn round the wire loop to secure the star shape and cut off the excess wire.

Knot the I-cords together.

And hide the ends of the yarn inside the I-cords.

You can also bend the wire into different shapes: I made stars, hearts and trees. In the picture above, you get a glimpse of two upcoming projects of my Advent Calendar.
