Making Patterns with Christmas Ornament Crafts

A picture of a completed wreath ornament with green and purple beads, alternating colors. A purple bow is glued at the top and it has a silver pipe cleaner for the hanger. Above the ornament are a series of blue and white beads in an AB pattern, ready to make a second ornament.

This is a quick post, but I wanted to share a way that I worked on making patterns with one of my students. I bought these ornament crafts a couple of weeks ago at Michael's (when they were 60% off!). When making these ornaments, we put the beads into patterns and I had the student extend the patterns in a row on the table. He then took each bead and put it onto the wreath ornament. It's just a quick, easy idea, but I thought I'd share. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
