They’re just woven hemp cords and glass beads.

Coming soon to this post: how to put it on a tree branch.

EDIT: How to hang these on a tree branch, with photos!

Each of the light catchers is made with two strings tied around each bead. It’s meant to hand around a branch, so pretend that’s what my arm is in the photos.

One end has 2-4 big beads tied very closely. This part is the weight so it needs to be at the bottom. The opposite end goes around the branch. First, split the two strings at the end that will go around the branch:

Split the two cords apart and insert the bottom of the string with beads:

Pull the entire beaded cord through and you’ll have it wrapped around the branch:
