STAR GLOW

©2020 Deborah Roberti

Use size 11/0 (Miyuki brand rocaille seed beads) and 8/0 seed beads, 3mm and 4mm fire-polished beads, 6mm beads (fire-polished, round or bicone crystal beads) and SuperDuo beads to create a five-pointed or six-pointed crystal star (both about 1.75 inches wide) that can be used as a pendant, ornament or suncatcher. Detailed step-by-step directions and illustrations from start to finish for both stars. This is a great stash-buster design and makes an ideal quick holiday gift.

NOTE: Bead colors and coatings (and even bead types!) seem to be disappearing at a rate that I can no longer keep up with. I try to find substitutes when I can but "discontinued" seems to be the norm these days.
