remember making these in school?
these are a smaller version...very small, with toothpicks :)
you will need:
toothpicks
embroidery floss or twine
beads
glue
begin by crossing the toothpicks into a diamond shape. then follow these instructions, or
dab a little glue in the centre & begin winding the thread about 4 times one direction, then swap & wind about 4 times on the other diagonal opening.
after that, begin at one stick & wind under & loop over, wind under the next one, loop over it, wind under the nest loop over...there are better instructions here but maybe these photos might help
once that is finishe tie it off & maybe add a bit of glue to keep it in place. then glue some sparkly beads onto each point of the tootpicks.
finally, tie a little string, ribbon, or fabric strip on so it can be hung up as an ornament
may your days be full of rainbows!!!
