Below is everything you'll need to create 1 snowflake.
14 of the 25mm acrylic crystal clear starflake beads (Some call it a paddle wheel bead)
6 of the 8mm acrylic crystal clear faceted round beads
12 of the 8mm dark ruby acrylic faceted round beads OR the beads I found at Michael's.
12 of the 11mm acrylic crystal clear tri-beads
2 Tinsel Stems (pipe cleaners) in "Iridescent." They carry this at Walmart.
Wire Cutters
E-6000 or Bead Glue
Bead Thread in Gold or Silver
I just wanted to share that I work with exchange students, many of whom are here on a scholarship, and we made these ornaments to decorate a tree (that someone donated for our project) for a government-funded apartment complex for the elderly, and each of the students gave a presentation on their country and talked to the residents. Anyway, the girls (they were all girls) absolutely loved making these ornaments, and these ornaments were inexpensive enough that I could afford to buy the supplies. Thank you for sharing and please know that sharing tutorials like this can have such a wonderful, far-reaching effect, more so than we often realize!
That is so cute. I'm going to talk with my grandsons football coach about them making it for the nursing home.
You are so very welcome! Thanks for watching my videos! :o)
This is the best handmade snowflake that I have seen so far. I remember in the first grade my class used the pipe cleaner in Christmas colors, and alternated triangle beads and a strip of white lace and made them into hanging wreaths to give to our parent- I picked my mom- to hang on the tree. I was the happiest six year old ever to make something so pretty and functional! I hope some other teacher sees this project!
I made snowflakes like this YEARS AGO, and gave them away as gifts! One of my sisters still puts it up on her tree EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS!!!! I didn't use another colored bead on mine, but seeing yours, I wish I would have!!!!
I absolutely love these. They are SOOOOOO beautiful. My grandma used to make these and I haven't seen them in years.
I appreciate your talent and skills and the tutorial how to make such a beautiful decoration
The fact that they are not exactly the same only makes them all the more real to me. Snowflakes are not perfectly shaped. So to me it makes it more realistic. Thank you soooooo much for all the wonderful videos. Thank you for the nice gentle voice too.
We love this and this is something that We can do as a Family ~~~~~~ That has to be 1 of the best things about it................. I LOVE TE WAY THAT THEY LOOK !
How very pretty. This could be a good break from quilting and cards. Thank you

Hi Alska Du, I 've never tried it with regular wire, so I'm not sure. If you give it a go, let me know how it turned out. Thanks for watching my videos! :o)
This is sooooo pretty! My granddaughter (age 9) decided she wanted a white flocked Christmas Tree in her bedroom last year. I will have to make some of these for her, and also put together a kit for her to make some for herself and her friends. Love it. TFS!!
I always learn from you. Not only the basic instructions, but the finishing touches that make all the difference. You are the queen of bling and I am your willing student.
You have such a pleasant calming voice to listen to. Thank you.

I love them. Like the sparkley channel stens, although I think I'd make the bobble a bit smaller. It is a little bigger than I would like.

super cute idea! My husbands grandmother gave me a suitcase full of beads and now maybe I can use some of them for xmas gifts!!
Juanita Coleman Oh wow! I would be in heaven to receive a suitcase full of beads! Lucky you! :o)
How pretty! I will have to but some beads and make some of these they are just
beautiful. I'm so into crochet i forget there are other nice crafts to make.
I've done these with Swarovski crystals ( minus the paddle beads ) and they are stunning. A little on the pricey side, but....gorgeous
Beautiful thanks so much so pretty
Hi There:Instead of snipping all the tinsel stems at the end, I might loop one of them to connect the hanging cord. I love the ornament & can't believe how simple it is.Thanks
WOW so very cute, thanks for the idea!
A wonderful cause! My father passed away 2 months ago because of cancer. Horrible disease.
What a beautiful ornament, and simple to make. I'm looking forward to trying this.
jrd Thank you JRD! :o)

I made a bunch of these last winter.They are so pretty and so easy to make.I am getting ready to order beads so I can make some more.Thank you so much for showing me how to make them
***** Oh I'm so glad you had so much fun making these! I loved experimenting with different colors. One year I made "retro" snowflakes by using aqua and pink colored round beads. Enjoy Hun! :o)
I love them I have the candy canes with those beads and love them
Thank you so much Debbie! :o)
Love this is so beautiful x I once done something similar years ago with a set of broken pearls my gran gave me she passed away later on but her pearl snowflake goes on my tree every year as a little memorial your craft would be so nice for that idea also x Much Love from Scotland x
I love this idea
Thank you!!! I just made 10!
Made these with my students and it was great! The tinsel stems were perfect with the children. No running after rolling beads. They did well following the pattern and were so proud of themselves. Thank you again for sharing your talent. Happy New Year!
My mom used to make these every year, Reminds me of when she did them. I need to make these with the grandbabies. TFS.

Bubblesjo333, one thing nice about this project is that you can experiment with the different colors and make them any way you want. I've tried all kinds of different patterns and just one little variation can make them look so different. Enjoy! :o)

I loved it...it looks very pretty and elegant....☺😅
I started making these with the 18 mm paddle wheel beads since that is what is said in the video, then we got the 25MM beads and I gotta say we really like the 18MM better. So thanks for the video, my girl is needing to raise 1200 for a mission trip and we are making these for a festival!
oh and if when you have the pipe cleaner folded in half, and just snip the end off then you dont ave to worry about the little bent part
Mslplover77 Another happy accident! :o) Thank you so much for watching! :o)

One of the easiest snowflakes I have seen.I have made one and only one with wire and tiny beads and it took me hours to make it....never again! I much prefer your way of doing them Lol . Thanks for the tutorial, I really enjoyed it.
Eileen Wightman This is one of my oldest videos, however, I STILL make these ornaments because they are just so much fun! :o) Thanks so much for watching!
