Add Two Beads
Add two beads at a time along the outside of the original circle. Start by running the ribbon through two beads, then secure by running ribbon through the bead below on the original circle and to the right (Image 1). Continue working your way around the circle this way. This will start to give the ornament its star shape (Image 2).
Add One Bead
Go around once more, this time adding one bead at a time. Run the ribbon through one bead, then secure by running ribbon through the beads below. Continue working your way around the circle this way. This will complete the star shape.
