These were made from those cheap kits they sell around Christmas time with beads and wire. You just string on the beads and twist. I enjoy making them but they don’t always keep their shape very well so that circles become oblong and stars don’t have sharp edges (as you can see here). Perhaps some stiffer wire is in order. I have a book on how to make beaded flowers but that’s a little more work and I haven’t tried it yet.
