Step into a little beading magic with Lauren Quigley as she shows you how to stitch, bead, and sparkle your way into the sweetest handmade boho ornament for the season.

Lauren works with thread, sequins and seed beads to bring every layer to life. She builds the ornament on felt, adds fluffy fiber fill, and finishes it with a gorgeous metallic blanket stitch. Along the way she shares tips for overlapping sequins, creating little starbursts, adding bugle bead borders, and using your felt scraps for extra charm.

The flow is relaxed, a bit playful, and perfect for anyone who loves a project that evolves as you stitch. Every ornament turns out with its own bit of personality.  Color options are endless.
