The Shooting Star Beaded Ornament Cover Instructions is a downloadable PDF. Nothing will be shipped to you. If you want to print out the instructions, you'll need to have a printer. You'll have access to the download after you checkout. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to open the file. The PDF is four pages long and includes 20 close-up step-by-step photos.
This is not a kit. No materials are included.
Dual layers of beaded netting create an overlapping diamond motif adding a sense of three-dimensionality and texture. Super long bugles trail like the tail of a Shooting Star, adding movement and catching the light.
Shooting Star is a beginner-plus level project and requires some previous bead stitching experience. You should know the following beading skills:
- how to thread a needle

- how to control your thread to avoid tangles and/or knots

The "Pattern Only" option is best for independent beaders either working from their own stash or willing/able to search for their own materials because we do not provide vendor recommendations nor color names/numbers. The supply list is on the first page of each project PDF and includes the type/size of each required component as well as the required quantity. The quantity may be listed as a range if the instructions include stringing charts for multiple sizes. If you would prefer to purchase a complete kit that includes both the instructions and all the materials needed to make a project, please reach out. Depending on stock availability we may be able to make you a kit even if that project isn't currently listed as a kit on our website. (There is a "Contact Us" link at the bottom of this page.)
