You Will Need...
- Plastic thread, white pearl beads (of 2 different sizes), pink crystal beads, scissor.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Firstly, you have to make the base ring of the snowflake using 6-8 beads. The number of beads you’ll use for the base ring would be the number of points of the snowflake.
Cut a 20 inches long thick plastic thread or beading thread,
Thread 5 small beads into the thread,
Thread the 6th bead from both sides and keep 2 inches thread left on either side,
Pull and tighten the thread to form a ring of beads,
Thread the remaining 2 inches thread around the beads of the base once and cut off the rest.Step 2
Now that you’ve cut off one side of the thread so there’s only one end of the plastic thread remaining,
Thread 1 large bead into the thread, followed by 5 small beads,
Now pass the thread through the large bead and the small bead next to it (clock-wise), -see picture of this step.
Pull the thread to form a loop with the small beads.Step 3
Again thread 1 large bead, followed by 5 small beads into the thread,
Similarly, pass the thread through the large bead and the small bead next to it (clock-wise) and pull it to form the second loop, – see picture of this step.Step 4
Keep repeating these steps till you reach the strand for creating the 6th loop,
Pull and tighten the thread to create the 6th loop.
First round of loops is done.Step 5
In this step we’re going to link the loops.
Use crystal beads this time.
Thread 1 crystal bead and pass the thread (marked with red line and arrows) through the 2 beads (marked with yellow circles) as shown in the picture of this step.Step 6
Again, thread another crystal bead similarly and continue to do the same until you link all the loops.
After reaching the other end randomly pass the remaining thread into 5-6 beads to make sure the beading is secure and it doesn’t come off.
Cut off the rest of the thread and enjoy the beaded snowflake!
