Lacet Ball Ornament

This ornament is made with a different color combination but you could use any color thread you want. When I made this ornament, I had envisioned a bunch of these hung around a reception hall of a wedding with silver and white decorations all around. This would be a good color combination to use to coordinate with the Man's traditional Black Tuxedo.
