Supplies:

  • 1 package each (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue & indigo) of tri-beads
  • Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
  • 1 package white 24 gauge bead wire
  • 6 - 12" of white thread
  • Wire cutters
  • Glue gun

Directions:

1. Cut a 36" long string of bead wire.

2. String one indigo bead to approximately 1" from the end of the bead wire. Fold the end of the wire back up over the bead and twist to secure.

3. String 24 more indigo beads (24 total).

4. Bend wire up.

5. String 40 blue beads and bend wire up.

6. String 52 green beads and bend wire up.

7. String 64 yellow beads and bend wire up.

8. String 76 orange beads and bend wire up.

9. String 88 red beads. Fold end of bead wire back and tuck under previous bead.

10. Shape into a rainbow.

11. Starting at the top of the indigo row, tack rows together with glue gun. One in the center and one on each end should work fine.

12. Do the same with each row, tacking just as often as necessary to keep the rows securely together.

13. String thread through the center of the rainbow, between the orange & red rows.

14. Hang from the curtain rod.

15. You now have a cheery Rainbow Window Sparkler!
