DIY Beaded Snowflake Ornaments for Christmas

Hello there! Christmas is around the corner, have you got your Christmas gifts and house ornaments ready? If you find it’s difficult to choose what to buy, how about DIY some items by yourself or together with your families? Today I’m going to share you a video tutorial on how to make snowflake Christmas ornaments, hope it can inspire you for your own DIYs.

Materials and tools needed to make those Christmas ornaments:
2mm light green Ceylon round seed beads
2mm pink Ceylon round seed beads
2mm white Ceylon round seed beads
6mm glass bugle beads
6mm white pearl beads
6mm light blue pearl beads
6mm beige pearl beads
3mm copper wire
Wire cutting plier
Flat plier

Details on how to make those snowflake ornaments:

I love this video, but to be honest, I don’t think the colors of the seed beads are great for Christmas. If you are going to make these snowflake ornaments, I think it would be better to use red and green seed beads to replace the pink and light green ones. The colors should be the same with Christmas tree and Father Christmas’ cloth, and that will be perfectly suitable for Christmas.
