How To Make A Rainbow Beaded Suncatcher With Soft Flex Craft Wire (Color 6)
This week on Free Spirit Beading with Kristen Fagan, I continued making a rainbow sun catcher with the sixth color of orange. For this section of the sun catcher, I created a swirl shape using 16ga and 22ga Soft Flex Craft Wire along with leftover beads from our mystery design kits! Next week, I'll be creating one more color section to complete a full rainbow sun catcher! Make your own sun catchers for your window or to decorate a patio space. Sun catchers also make lovely gifts.
