This shimmering snowflake features a magical sugar plum color palette, perfect for bringing a warm, festive glow to your holiday home.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Czech glass fire-polished rounds in Luster Mix in sizes 10, 8, 6mm.
  • Czech glass Luster Mix 3mm druk
  • Gold PVD-plated 2 & 3mm rounds
  • 6" snowflake wire frames
  • 2mm half-drilled finials in Alexandrite
  • Czech glass faceted teardrops in lavender opal AB
  • super glue
  • durable round-nose pliers to create a loop on the last snowflake arm.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Do one snowflake arm at a time. String the beads on the arm in the pattern shown. At the end, add a dot of super glue and attach the finial. Let this dry for 20 seconds or so before moving on to the next arm. Glue finials onto the end of each arm, except one.

Step 2

For the final arm—the one with the ribbon—leave a few beads off the end so you have enough wire to bend into a loop. I used heavy-duty round-nose pliers because the stainless steel frame is sturdy and takes some coaxing to bend; take your time.

Step 3

Feed the Sari silk through the loop and tie a bow.
