I chose chenille stems in icy colors like Blue
, Silver
,
and White
to look more like wintery snowflakes. For the beads, I chose icy colors (cool colors like blue, green, and purple) and
crystal clear beads
to add to the wintery effect!
I cut the chenille stems in half and twisted three of them together to create a star or asterisk shape. You could use all the same color or mix like I did here.
The all you need to do is slide the beads on the chenille stems. You could put them on randomly or in a pattern.
Here is one with more of a pattern! Then take another half of a chenille stem and twist on a loop to hang the snowflake!
I just love these! Cassie has been working on a few each day. We'll have a collection by the end of the week!
HAPPY WINTER!
