I tried making this with size 11 seed bead (according to the internet a 2 mm seed bead is size 11)but it looks to small also you didn't specify what size tiger wire to use. I tried using a 7 but it seemed to thick for the seed bead. If you could answer these questions that would be great. I want to make these for my Christmas tree.

What suggestions do you have for adding a hanger to the ornament?
