I was inspired by StarlitStudio's lovely slide ornaments and pendants. These are made from 24 gauge brass wire and brass foil. Stamped on white paper, colored with Prismacolor pencils, cut to size, sandwiched between 2 slides with a red back stamped with a little saying from Little Holiday Wishes plus name and date, applied brass foil, formed the top from wire using a wire jig, soldered it on top and jump ring on bottom, made beaded thingy's on bottom with 32 gauge brass wire and beads.

As for the wire work, it turns out that I am the electrical "expert" in our household and do all the electrical repair work, so I was already familiar with how to use lead (soft) solder. The wire bending was done using the Wire Wizard Universal Jig, which you can obtain here: http://www.thewirewizard.com/wizolive.htm
