Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Taking your acrylic beads, determine the pattern you want for each spoke of your snowflake! We suggest starting with two small 4mm beads, arranging your beads in size from small to large near the end.
2. Leave approximately ¼” on the end of your metal spoke.
3. Taking your pliers, grip the very tip of the metal spoke. Holding the beads and wire straight with your other hand, twist your pliers to bend the tip into a circle. Twist the tip back on itself. This rounded metal end will keep the beads from coming off.
4. Repeat the same pattern on the remaining spokes until your snowflake is complete.
5. Taking your ribbon, either hot glue it to your ornament, or loop it through one of the metal loops to hang. Tie a bow at the length you prefer, and trim your ends if you prefer.
Deck the halls with handmade ornaments! We hope you enjoy crafting these gorgeous snowflakes!
Happy Crafting!
