A Christmas tree is the classic holiday bead project: a bold green silhouette in tiers, a star on top, and a scatter of ornaments to make it your own. This design keeps the shape clean and readable at a small size, so it works as a coaster, an ornament, or a gift topper. Swap the ornament colors to match your tree.
