For this project you will need: - 4mm (“small”) and 6mm (“large”)   faceted acrylic beads in red,   white (clear) and green - 20 gauge wire cut into 4 x 9 cm   pieces or an 8 cm pre-bought star   shaped wire form - ultra thin wire for holding the center   of star together - wire cutters - round nosed pliers - soldering iron if desired (parents   need to do this part) Ages 9 and older Instructions: Instructions for the Star: 1. Either criss cross and twist 4 x 9cm pieces into a star shape or parents can solder the crossed pieces at the center. Start beading by adding the beads in this order on each spoke: 1 small red, 1 small white, 1 large red, 1 large white, 1 small red, 1 small white, 1 large red, 1 large white and then 1 small red. 2. After finishing the 1st spoke, use the pliers and bend over the wire to hold the beads in place. Do the same for each of the completed spokes. Instructions for the Candy Cane: 1. Cut a 10 cm length of wire and use the pliers to bend up on end. Add red and white beads alternatively to the wire until there is about a half of centimeter left. Bend up this end now. 2. Take the top and fold over in a candy cane shape and add a wire or string at the top for hanging. Instructions for the Wreath: 1. Cut a piece of wire and add first 4 small red beads and then 1 large red bead. 2. Add 16 large green beads. 3. Now add 1 large red bead and then 4 small beads. Twist the other end so the beads stay in place. 4. Twist the 4 red ends once to connect them to look like red ribbon tails.     This is a close up view of the star.
