Easy Christmas Crafts: Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornament Materials and Tools:

• Ruler to measure ribbon and yarn  
• Scissors to cut the ribbon and yarn
• Pencil or other round object 

Take a look at the simple materials and tools shown here. 

The Steps for How to Make the Easy Christmas Crafts: Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornament:

Measure and cut the ribbon to 10 inches in length. Use longer ribbon if you would like longer icicle ornaments.

The narrow ribbons kept their shape better than the wider ribbons. Larger ribbons could also be used provided their wire edges are strong enough to maintain the spiral when hung on the Christmas tree.

Wrap the wired ribbon around the pencil. A larger round object would be needed for ribbon wider than 1/2 inch.

Remove the wired ribbon spiral by gently sliding it off the end of the pencil.

Measure and cut 10 inches of thread for the Easy Christmas Crafts Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornament's hanging loop.

Tie a knot in the thread ends to form a loop.

Fold one end of the wired ribbon over the thread. Make two folds to hold the thread loop securely.

At the opposite end of the wired ribbon spiral, trim the end of the wired ribbon at a 45 degree angle. This removes any loose bits of ribbon that frayed while forming the Easy Christmas Crafts Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornament.

Simple, easy and fast, the Easy Christmas Crafts Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornament is now finished. If the wired ribbon spiral gets pulled out of shape, just wrap the wired ribbon around a pencil again to reform the icicle ornament.

Without any waiting, the Easy Christmas Crafts Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornament is ready to hang on the Christmas tree. The simple gold and silver spiral hangs on the tree looking very much like an icicle ornament.

The different Easy Christmas Crafts Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornaments hanging on this Christmas tree used different ribbons and sizes to illustrate a variety. The red and green are pretty, but the gold, silver and blue provide a contrast and look more like an icicle ornament.

This inexpensive project, in both time and money, adds a rich sparkle of icicle ornaments to any Christmas tree. 

Have fun!
