Use Miyuki beads to make beaded sun catchers.

Making beaded sun catchers with Miyuki beads is a great way to add some color and sparkle to your windows or outdoor areas.

Here are some steps to make your own beaded sun catchers:

1. Gather your materials You will need Miyuki beads, beading wire, small charms or pendants, jump rings, pliers, and a metal hoop or ring.

2. Choose your design and colors Decide on the design and color scheme for your beaded sun catcher. You can choose to use a single color or multi-colored beads, and create a simple or more complex pattern.

3. Cut the beading wire Cut a piece of beading wire to a length of about 2-3 feet.

4. Add the beads String your chosen Miyuki beads onto the wire, leaving a small gap between each bead.

5. Attach the charm or pendant Attach a small charm or pendant to the end of the wire using a jump ring.

6. Form the wire into a loop Using your pliers, form the beading wire into a loop around the metal hoop or ring.

7. Secure the wire Twist the wire around itself to secure it in place, making sure the beads and charm are centered on the ring.

8. Add additional strands Repeat the process with additional strands of beads, attaching them at different points on the metal hoop or ring.

9. Create a hanging loop Use another piece of beading wire to create a hanging loop at the top of the sun catcher.

10. Trim any excess wire Trim any excess wire and straighten out any kinks or twists in the beaded strands.

Your beaded sun catcher is now ready to hang up and catch the light! You can make multiple sun catchers and hang them together for a beautiful display. They also make great gifts for family and friends.
