Christmas Craft Tutorial - Beaded Snowflakes or Stars

1. First you will add beads to the long spokes. For the first spoke, begin at the middle of the star and add the following beads in this order: one twisted bugle bead, one metal bead, the large faceted bead, one metal bead, one small faceted bead, one metal bead, 3 seed beads and then one silver bead. After you have finished with the first spoke, follow steps 2-4 to secure and bend the end into a hook form. Then continue adding beads to the remaining 7 long spokes, one at a time, securing the end of each spoke as you finish adding beads to it.

2. To create the hook form, you will first of all bend the end of the wire with the flat pliers 90° to the outside.

3. Then you will take the round pliers and grab the end. Turn in 180° in the opposite direction, creating a round hook form as you do so.

4. This is how the hook looks and it prevents the beads from falling off of the wire. You can hang your star from any of the hooks afterwards.

5. Now you can add beads to the shorter wire spokes. Starting with the first short wire, add the beads in the following order: One bugle bead, one large faceted bead, one metal bead and then one twisted bugle bead. Bend the end into a hook form as you did for the long spokes. Then repeat for the remaining 7 short spokes.

6. The hook of the short spoke looks like this after you have made it.
