Beaded Snowflakes (or are they Stars)

One of the crafts we did at the Christmas Craft party I had last week was to make beaded snowflakes/stars. They were a lot of fun to make.  I wanted to give you the details in case you had the time to make them over the holidays.  I read about them years ago in a Martha Stewart magazine and made some that we have enjoyed every year since.  I've always wanted to make more in other colours - and now I have.


They are so simple to make and end up looking so pretty (you can see some of the original ones in the photo below with the red and blue beads).  



I put together a little tutorial for you:


We made some in silver and white,



and some in turquoise and aqua,



and some in pink and red.



Which colours do you like best?  I can never decide if they are stars or snowflakes, but either way I love them.

  3. These are so pretty! I love each of the color combinations...it's too hard to pick a favorite! I will have to try and make some of these next year.

  5. Love these, thank you! We make ornaments with cork every year at an event at my workplace, so this is a refreshing choice!
