STARS AND SNOWFLAKES
 
For all stars, use different color ball and shuttle threads to make a two-color star.

Add one more set of rings and chains (for 6 points) to make snowflakes instead of stars.

Also, note that the smaller the thread, the more dainty these become.

Notice, the group photo shows examples stars, not necessarily made from any one particular pattern here. The Star-1 Picture is Star #1.
