I bought the supplies and showed a twelve-year-old and eight-year-old how to make these. Well, let's put it this way: I made the loop at the end of the wire so the beads would stay on, and after all the beads were strung, my daughter, mom to the twelve-year-old, made the little loop in the wire on that end, coiled the ornaments, and tied a length of green cord through the top for a hanger. Cut the wire about 20" unless you only want short spiral beaded ornaments that are wider at the bottom.
