Step 1:These instructions are for the small blue star. To make the large red Star just use 6mm beads in the center and 8x6mm teardrops for the points.
Color one end of your thread with a black marker to follow the pattern easier.
Center an 11/o silver lined seed bead on your thread.
To each thread add a 4mm blue bicone and cross your threads thru a new 11/o silver lined seed bead.
Repeat the above 3 more times giving you four sets of bicones with your threads crossed thru an 11/o silver lined seed bead.
Add one more 4mm blue bicone to each thread and cross your threads thru the first silver lined seed bead to form a circle.
You now have two circles of five 4mm blue bicones joined together.
Step 2:Pass your black thread thru the first 4mm blue bicone (bead 3)
** Add an 11/o silver lined seed, 4mm blue bicone and another 11/o silver lined seed bead to your thread. Pass back thru the 4mm blue bicone and add another 11/o silver lined seed bead and pass thru the next blue bicone in your first circle. **
Repeat from ** to ** four more times for a total of five points around your first center circle.
Step 3:Flip your work over to start adding your points to the second circle.
In this step your 11/o silver lined seed beads at the top of your points on your first circle are now marked as beads A thru E.
Pass your red thread thru the first 4mm blue bicone (bead 2)
Add one 11/o silver lined seed and one 4mm blue bicone to your thread and pass your thread thru the top 11/o silver lined seed bead from the first side (bead A). Pass back thru the 4mm blue bicone and add an 11/o silver lined seed bead and pass thru the next 4mm blue bicone in the center (bead 5)
Repeat the above 4 more times using the existing top 11/o silver lined seed beads (B thru E)to complete the second set of points on your second circle.
Step 4:Weave one of your threads to a center 11/o silver lined seed bead (between your two circles of blue bicones on the INSIDE of your center)
Add a 6mm silver round spacer bead to your thread and pass thru another center 11/o silver lined seed bead on the opposite side of the center circle.
Bring your thread back out and tie your ends off. Weave in your ends.
Your Star is complete... Enjoy
