This is one of my all-time favorite handmade ornaments. My mother crocheted this star from a stretchy metallic cord. I can't give you the instructions, but if you're a crocheter, you can see how to do it from the photo. The structure of the star is cabone rings. Metal macrame rings would work too. You need a largeish one for the center, 5 medium ones for the star points, and 10 smaller ones that circle the center. Basically, you single crochet around the main ring until it's covered, then continue single crocheting around the perimeter for a couple rows. Crochet around all the remaining rings, then attach them together by crocheting or by simple sewing. With the same cord, sew 6 gold beads to the star tips and to the center. A search online might find you the actual instructions, but the graphicness and elegance of it makes it worth experimenting. This star measures about 6 inches wide, including the beads.
