Use a large flat bead for the centre. Glue a pipecleaner into the centre of it and cut this piece into a suitable length for a brittlestar leg. Cut 4 more pieces of pipecleaner and fasten all 5 around each other and have them pointing out from the bead like a star.
Take another pipecleaner and wrap the end around one of the legs. Thread on some beads, then loop around the next leg. Repeat until you're back to the first leg, wrap it around, and leave the excess pipecleaner for attaching your brittlestar to the tree. All you're brittlestar's legs should be firmly attached now.
Thread beads onto each leg and bend back the end of each one to keep them on. Curve the legs into crazy shapes.
Now attach to your tree!
