    Quick Project Steps

    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.

These ornaments are relatively easy to make and can be customized to your friends' tastes with different colors and embellishments. PotomacBeads has a wide selection of beads and findings to choose from, so you can really let your creativity shine. Get started today and make this Christmas the most memorable one yet!
