Does anyone have elegant beaded ornament cover instructions?

20 years ago

Hello everyone! I used to be a member when the forum was a no-charge and am now glad to be able to post again.

I was wondering if anyone has instructions(with pictures) of how to make those beautiful, elegant beaded ball ornament covers? The ones I'm thinking of look victorian-style with the beaded fringe hanging fairly long. About 2-3 years ago someone posted directions or a link to a website that had directions. I thought I had the directions, but cannot find them anywhere. The only ones I've been able to find online are just the simple, plain ones which I'm not interested in. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

Welcome back!
Here is a site that I linked below which has instruction for a victorian one.

The next site only has pictures of ones that come from
different books but no free directions that I could find.

There are quite a few free patterns on the web, how about this one it has dangles on the ends so you could just make them longer.

Here is a link that might be useful: one pattern

The one I remember was more elaborate, but I'm sure now if I want those directions I'd have to purchase a kit or book. Thanks for your help!

I found this book @ Amazon.com (there are few different other ones as well) "Accent On: Beaded Ornament Covers"
