Beaded Star

I have a free star tutorial to share

It's quite easy to make, and you only need fishing line and a few beads, as well as a fine needle.

It can be used as a gift topper, Christmas decoration, or even earrings or a necklace.

Free Tutorial

It's a nice simple pattern; all you need is some beads and some fishing wire and these free instructions.

Materials:

4mm crystals, or other beads
Size 10/0 seed beads
Stopper bead, any color, will be removed later.
Fine fishing line, approximately 80cm
Beading needle, or other fine needle

Star: part 1

step 11. Thread the fishing line onto the needle
2. Tie on a stopper bead. A stopper bead is a bead the same size or smaller than the smallest bead you are using. String through it twice to hold it in place.
3. Add 6 seed beads, 1 crystal and 1 seed bead.
4. Go back through the crystal, and pull tight.
5. String on another 6 seed beads, a crystal, and this time 4 seed beads.
6. Go back through the first seed bead you strung on, through the same way you came from originally. Then back through the crystal.

star: part 2

part 27. Continue in this manner, adding 6 seed beads between each section, crystals next to each end, and ends alternating between a single seed bead, and a 4 seed bead circle.
8. This should form a zigzag pattern with the 4 bead circles on one end, and the single beads on the other, as in the diagram.
9. Stop when you have 6 of each types of ends. 12 points all together.

star: part 3

part 310. The thread should now be coming out of the crystal, in readiness for the 6 seed bead centre. Now instead of starting a new 6 bead section, just string back through the first section, all the way through the first 6 seed beads, the crystal, and the end seed bead.
11. You should now have a rough circle. String through the next single seed bead, at the next point, then the next. Continue through them all. Then go through them all again.
