Make Beaded Snowflakes

	3 Chenille stems (6" in length)
	8 Crystal paddlewheel or sunburst beads (18 mm size)
	20 Crystal faceted beads (8 mm size)
	18 Crystal tri-beads (11 mm size)
	Hot glue gun or craft glue
	Wire cutters (to cut chenille stems)

Instructions

Cut chenille stems to equal 6" in length.

Twist them in the center once or put a spot of hot glue to hold them together, then spread out the arms gently, keeping it flat.

String the beads on each arm in the following pattern:

1 faceted bead

1 tri-bead

1 faceted bead

1 tri-bead

1 paddle wheel

1 tri-bead

1 faceted

Put a spot of glue under each last faceted bead. When dry clip off ends of chenille stem.

Glue (hot glue is best) one paddle wheel in center of each side then one faceted in center of each paddle wheel that is in the middle.

Make a hanger of fishing line or invisible thread. A pretty green or red ribbon also works very well.
