December 2011 Beaded Snowflake Ornament Project.

You can find a variety of Free Arts and Craft Project here, including beading tutorials and other project. This month's project is a beaded Snowflake Ornament, made with blue and clear Swarovski crystals and white colour Japanese glass seed beads using right angle weave Beading technique. Great as earrings, pendant or simply as a Christmas Ornament.

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

Beaded Snowflake Ornament:

What you need:

1)   Glass seed beads size 12/0 (white).
2)   Crystals (8pcs clear 4mm) (26pcs blue 3mm)
3)   Beading string (0.25mm)

Always Remember to pull tight on EVERY STEP.
