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!
