Instructions

Step 1

String the following onto a head pin and create a wrapped loop:

One 8mm round
One 6mm round
One 6mm rondelle
One #6 seed bead

Repeat to create a second snowman drop.

Step 2

Cut two 2-inch lengths of 26-gauge wire. String and center enough alternating red and pearl seed beads onto the wire to wrap around the “neck” of the snowman.

Wrap the beaded wire around like a scarf then twist to secure, just after both ends of the beads.

String alternating red and pearl seed beads on one end of the wire then create a U-bend to secure the beads. Trim the excess wire. Repeat on the second end of the wire.

Repeat to add a beaded scarf to the second snowman drop.

Step 3

Add snowman drops to the loops of ear wires.
