- Assorted 4mm Gemstone Star Beads

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: With a piece of wire, make a bead link by sliding on a bead cap, a rock crystal bead, another bed cap, and a seafoam agate bead. Attach the bead link directly to a 1" piece of chain. Make bead charms with the gemstone stars and attach down the chain with jump rings. I hung a Black Lip Shell Star at the bottom. Slide onto the earwire. |
