    Quick Project Steps

    Begin with the center of the star using six 4mm bicones and 11/0 seed beads, tied into a knot. Add looping effects with additional seed beads, crystals, and Tubelet beads, creating a pattern around the bicones. Form the first layer of the star by linking Tubelet beads and adding crystals for a pronounced effect. Flip the piece and repeat the process on the backside to create the second layer. Embellish the outer edges with additional crystals, enhancing the star's appearance. Finish with a wire guard for hanging the ornament.
