...i whipped these up last night in from of the Royal Variety Show...beading and giggling to Michael McIntyre...not a bad way to spend an evening, huh? ;0)
if you fancy having a go its this simple:
- thread 6 beads onto a short length of wire, making a small loop at either end to secure the beads, and leaving a little room...about 3 mm for twisting.
- repeat this, to make the second arm of the snowflake...
- repeat this again but make a larger hanging loop at one end...
- lie twist the three wires together and arrange the arms in a pleasing manner...
- lie snowflake flat on a craft sheet and add a blob of Glossy Accents and a button to the
middle which will stabilise any *wobble~factor* :0) - leave it to dry...then repeat as many times as you like...
one of the beauties of this technique is that it works with whatever beads you like...these one are non~traditional colours for snowflakes...but they look beautiful and understated in whites and clear too...or whatever goes with your Christmas scheme...
i hope you enjoy making them as much as i did!
