Make your own beaded snowflakes

Begin by attaching beads in the desired sizes and colours onto the metal rod star. In the video, Anna has chosen to place the largest ones in the centre, gradually making them smaller towards the ends.

Bend the ends of the wire inwards with a pair of pliers to form a small loop, so the beads do not fall off. You can also shorten the length of some of the metal rods with pincers to customize the shape of your snowflake.

When all the beads are attached, and all ends are tucked in, add a small string for hanging at the top of the snowflake.

Now your snowflakes are ready to hang in the home, on the Christmas tree, or as a charming addition to gift wrapping.
