BEADED

SNOWFLAKE KITS

Beaded snowflakes are so quick and easy to make! Take a wire snowflake frame and start adding your chosen beads.

Bugle beads work best to start the stem, and then continue on with a mix of seed beads, glass beads and more bugle beads.

To end the stem you can either choose to glue on a bead, or why not take your round nose jewellery pliers and create a decorative loop?

Add the finishing touch to the snowflake by attaching a piece of ribbon to one of the loops! Your handmade snowflake will then be finished, ready to hang on your Christmas tree.

We have put some stunning colour combinations together to help you to blend and contrast your snowflakes with your chosen colour theme this Christmas!

Make up to 7 brilliant snowflakes with your chosen kit! Choose from bright, festive green, rich red, glam gold or shimmering clear selections and create your own unique, personalised decorations.

Remember, you can add even more colour and a personal touch to your decorations using beads

and charms from your own bead stash!

Why not try adding delicate silver or gold charms to the point of each snowflake?
