They are a hit around here, too.  I put the loop on for hanging.  
I also made one, with bigger pins.

Hi Terry,
Ys, I got the one that made 6. But I made them 1 pin bigger than the directions so I only got 5 out of the kit. I liked them a litter bigger because they layed flatter. The kit had 18 mm & 25 mm star beads in it. I have given them as gifts. Everyone I have shown them to have loved them. I think I like them better without the loop. I am waiting for more beads & pins to make more. I am going to sell them at my work craft fair next year.

Did you get the one that makes six snow flakes.  There were at least three kits available.

Terry,

Congratulations on lighting your gtree.  I'm sure it gave the folks at your 
office some cheer.  Would you consider teaching the star craft for next 
Christmas or in August so we can get a jump on Christmas crafts?  Where did 
you get the snowflake kit?  I'd love to make either of these crafts but, of 
course that depends on how I do with the snowman and snowwoman.

Regards,

Denise
