 Sun
Catchers or Ornaments
Quick and easy to make, these little sun
catchers will dazzle you in a window or sparkle up your Christmas tree!
Materials:
1 pkg. Silver Foil Lined Bead Mix (#24087)
Qty:
1 pkg. S/P Thick Eye Pins (#50594) Qty:
1 pkg. S/P Jump Rings, 4mm (#50040)
Qty:
Directions:
Onto an eye pin, first place one bead. Using a wire cutter, cut
off the excess eye pin leaving approximately 3/16". Using a flat nose pliers,
bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Carefully bend the 3/16" piece of
wire into a loop, and close it tight. Make as many of these link
pieces as you want. We used six sections for each Sun Catcher and
varied the bead sizes.
Next, open a jump ring and insert two of your link pieces you made above.
Continue to open jump rings and link sections together. We started
with the largest beads at the top and used smaller beads going down.
When your Sun Catcher is the desired length, string fishing line or beading
wire through the top loop and tie to your curtain rod. Enjoy the
sunshine!
