Two warped square components are done ;)

I want to share some advice about this 3D star ornament pattern and the process.

About the pattern:

The pattern, crafted by JuliaPatternUA, stands out with its unique, eye-catching color choice. However, using primarily matted beads softens the traditional festive mood of Christmas, giving it a distinct and modern twist. 

The file contains:

1. The colours of delica beads with numbers and the amount needed for each, not a gram, numbers only. It is easy to count the grams using the following data: 7.2g. contain - depending on the coating of the beads - 1358 - 1378 beads.

2. The pattern image is very blurry, so you can't coordinate it with your piece if you are finished. The photo shows only the dividing lines between the warped squares.

3. The word chart of the pattern, for me, has a slightly bothering style of letters. Just an idea: You can memorize five letters together because when you add the beads, you read them don't one by one. That may have made the piece faster.

That's all, no extra words or anything. I like it. With a couple of minor changes, it is enough for me to finish my larrikin piece.

About the thread:

I don't recommend Fire Line for this piece. It is better to use some flexible thread. I used a tan color, but any natural color can be good.

Use nearly 1.2 m of thread, no more and the silicon thread conditioner as often as possible.

If I made a mistake and needed to open more than 10 stitches, I cut the thread and added a new one. 

I secured the tails on the backside.
