パート1：猫のオーナメントカバーのビーズ細工チュートリアル | Potomac BeadsのPurr & Polished Treasure Box
This fun beaded ornament cover was inspired by the laser cut cat charms in the August 2025 Treasure Box from Potomac Beads – Purr and Polished. If you don’t have the cat charms, you can substitute any other fun charm. I do give some alternative suggestions in the video. Note that this project is 2 parts due to the length of the videos, so this is part 1 of 2.

^^^ Plastic holiday ornament – measures 7″ circumference, approx 2-1/4″ or 6mm in diameter – it’s a pretty standard size, and the instructions will include ways for you to size according to your own ornament. I highly recommend plastic, not glass, for safety in case of shattering.
