The pictorials are illustrated with spaces between beads for a clearer direction, in the actual beading, there should be no spaces.

| Step 9: |
- Continue to:
Add
one bead on each side of the string, add one bead to crisscross both strings through.
Add one bead on each side of the string again, add one last bead to crisscross both strings through.

 |
| Step 10: |
- Continue to: (using only one side of the string)
On the top black string: Add one bead, one 3mm blue crystal, one bead, one 4mm clear crystal and three beads.
Loop the same string back down the 4mm clear crystal added.
Continue to add one bead, one 3mm blue crystal and one bead.
Continue to pass the same black string (the one you just used to add new beads on) through one old bead (marked A).
- Now simply repeat this step exactly all around the half finished snowflake you have made in step 9.
|
|
 |
| Step 11: |
- After you have repeated step 10 all around the beaded piece from step 9, you should have finished beading the beaded snowflake!
You can add a jump-ring or hook on the tip of the snowflake to hang as a Christmas Ornament or simply use it as a charm or pendant or make one more to make a pair of earrings!
