Christmas wreath with fir cones, bells and a horse

Beaded Christmas wreath

We continue our "winter" series of beading. Today we will make a Christmas wreath of  spruce branches with cones, bells and a symbol of the 2014 year - horse.
We will need:
- bugle beads # 3 of green color,
- seed beads #11: of green color for spruce branches and of yellow-brown and grey colors for cones,
- seed beads # 8: of yellow and orange colors for bells with a bow-knot and grey, brown and black colors for a horse,
- three beads 6 mm in diameter of garnet color,
- nylon line 0.25 mm in diameter and two needles for beadweaving (you can also do with only one needle),
- wire 0.3 mm in diameter (you can take a thinner wire for bells or use the same wire),
- thick aluminum or copper wire of about 2 mm in diameter for a base of the wreath,
- green thread for winding the wire.
