Students learn how to make a celebration ornament using a wire bending armature technique, round nose pliers and repurposed copper.  Participants select a celebration theme icon and an array of representative beads which are added to the rails as they form their artistic creation.  The ornament is attached to a cotton cord or a chain of their choice.
