Materials:
gold mesh
clothespins
copper wire (medium and lightweight)
wire cutter
slender glass vase or jar
beads
dowel
fresh or silk flowers
Steps :
1. Cut a 16-inch square of mesh. Fold one side over about 1/4 inch and press in place.
2. Fold the mesh into a cone shape so the hem is on the outside and hold in place with clothespins.
3. Cut wire into six to ten two-inch lengths and bend them into a "U" shape. Thread them through the gold mesh along the folded hem at desired intervals and twist the ends to secure the cone.
4. Roll the top pointed corner to the outside of the cone to form a cuff.
5. Thread beads onto wire and lay it on the front. Wrap the ends around to the back and thread them into the cone. Twist to secure the bead strand in place.
6. Wrap more thin wire around a dowel to create a curly shape and attach as beads above.
7. Attach another piece of wire to create a hanger.
8. Create a silk flower arrangement or place a glass vase inside to hold fresh ones.
