Looking for a festive and unique holiday gift? The Christmas Star Ornament is a beautiful, shiny piece that is perfect for the holiday season. This reversible piece can also be made into earrings or a pendant, and makes a great gift for your loved ones.
Begin with .006 beading thread. Pick up one DiamonDuo and three 15/0s. Repeat five times to make a pattern. Tie into a knot. This will be the back of the pendant. Next you will step up to the top hole of the DiamonDuo. Pick up a 15/0 and an AVA, then another 15/0, a bicone, another 15/0 and the next AVA. Sew through another 15.0 and back down the DiamonDuo. Pick up another 15/0 and bring the needle through the other side of the AVA. Repeat around the circle.
Watch the Christmas Star Ornament tutorial to see detailed step-by-step directions to decorate your Christmas ornament by adding DiamonDuos to the front and a Potomac crystal rivoli in the center.
Add a wire guard to the top of the star if you would like to use it as a pendant or earrings. Tie off the thread ends and burn off.

The website is easily navigable and I like the option to omit out-of-stock items from turning up in searches. My orders are always processed promptly and well packaged for shipping. On the rare occasions that I receive an incorrect item I have always been fully satisfied by its resolution. Potomac has long been one of my favorite vendors and they often have things I can't get anywhere else. One thing I wish they would do is put the manufacturer item code (like TR-08-999 or DP-401FR) on the label, since sometimes name of a finish will get changed; it would make it easier to find the same color again since the color code stays the same.
