Start by threading your bead needle with white thread.  Then take your one spacer bead and tie the thread around it in a knot.  This will be the bottom of your tree and the bead acts as the bottom stopper bead.

Thread the lava bead. The lava beads act as a diffuser as the essential oils sit on these beads and slowly diffuse into the air.  You will use this bead as your “diffuser” on the ornament.

After the lava bead, then thread on your ribbon, followed by one pearl bead.

The remainder of the threading will be ribbon, pearl, ribbon, pearl, ribbon, etc.  Each time you fold over the ribbon, make it about an inch shorter so it gets shorter as you go up, creating your tree shape.

After 8 pearls and 8 ribbon loops, top it off with one star bead.  Tie off the end around the bead (thread the star bead twice so that thread is wrapped around it to tie it off) and leave enough thread for hanging purposes on your tree.

The 30″ inches of ribbon is an approximate length – you may need to trim the end off just a bit.

Pro Tip:  Depending on they kind of ribbon you have, you may need to dab a bit of clear nail polish on the end to keep it from unraveling.
