Click on the link below to see my full YouTube tutorial on how to make this gorgeous cross:
You can find these beads at https://www.ConsumerCrafts.com (They call them starflake beads) as well as Ebay, Etsy or type in the words "BeadTin" on Amazon at https://www.Amazon.com and you'll see all kinds of "starburst" beads pop up. You can also do a search for them on Google by typing in the words "Paddle wheel beads" or "Starflake beads."
To make ONE cross ornament, you will need the following:
*4 of the 8mm round faceted acrylic beads
*5 of the 10mm round faceted acrylic beads
*11 of the 18mm starflake (some people call them paddle wheel) acrylic beads
*Iridescent Tinsel stem (You can find them at any craft store, but I found mine in the Kid's craft section at Walmart for less than $2 per package.)
*Embellishment, such as a tiny rose or small flat-back heart rhinestone.
*Bead Cord (You can purchase this cord from the beading section They have metallic gold or silver. Make sure you don't accidentally pick up the "stretchy" bead cord! I've done that before by mistake. The cord you will want is the the type that looks like beading thread.)
*Wire cutter
*Flat nose pliers
*E-6000 glue
