To make beaded snowflake ornaments, you will need the following supplies: seed beads, wire, needle-nose pliers, and scissors.
1. Cut a piece of wire about 6 inches long.
2. String on about 30 seed beads.
You can use any color combination you like.
3. Make a loop at one end of the wire, and then string on another bead. This will be the top of your snowflake.
4. Continue threading beads onto the wire, making sure to keep them close together so that the snowflake is nice and full.
5. When you reach the end of the wire, make another loop to secure the beads in place.
6. Trim off any excess wire with your scissors.
- Cut a length of thread or beading wire, leaving enough slack to comfortably thread your beads onto the wire
- String your beads onto the wire in any pattern you like
- For a traditional snowflake look, use all white beads, or mix and match different colors and sizes for a more unique ornament
- Once all of your beads are threaded onto the wire, carefully bend the wire into a loop, bringing the two ends of the wire together
- Twist the ends of the wire together to secure your loop closed
- Trim off any excess wire, being careful not to cut too close and risk snipping your beadwork
- To finish off your ornament, make a small loop at the top of the snowflake with the remaining bit of wire (this will be used to hang your snowflake later)
- Again, twist the wires together to close off this second loop before trimming away any excess wire
How to Make Beaded Snowflake Ornaments
Beaded Snowflake Ornament With Pipe Cleaners
This beaded snowflake ornament is so easy and fun to make! All you need are some pipe cleaners and beads. You can use any color combination you like.
I used white and silver for a wintery look.
To make the snowflake, start by threading six beads onto each pipe cleaner. Then, fold the pipe cleaners in half and twist them together to form a snowflake shape.
Finally, trim the ends of the pipe cleaners if necessary.
Your beaded snowflake is now ready to hang on your tree!

How Do You Make a Snowflake With Wire And Beads?
To make a snowflake with wire and beads, you will need:
-a length of thin gauge wire (26 or 28 gauge)
-a selection of small beads in various colors (seed beads work well)
-needle nose pliers
-wire cutters
First, use the needle nose pliers to make a small loop at one end of the wire.
Then string on some beads, using as many or as few colors as you like. Once you have a section of beaded wire that is about 6 inches long, use the needle nose pliers to make another small loop. Continue adding beads until the entire length of wire is used up.
Use the wire cutters to trim away any excess wire, and then gently bend and shape theSnowflake into whatever design you like. You can also add additional decorations, such as tiny bells or sequins, if desired.
How Do You Make Icicle Ornaments With Beads?
To make an icicle ornament with beads, you will need the following materials: clear fishing line, clear beads, and a needle. You will also need scissors and something to hang your ornament from when it is finished.
1. Cut a length of fishing line that is twice the desired length of your finished icicle.
For example, if you want a 4-inch icicle, cut 8 inches of fishing line.
2. Thread one end of the fishing line through the needle, then thread on enough beads to reach halfway up the length of fishing line. Knot the end of the thread to secure the beads in place.
3. Repeat step 2 with the other end of the fishing line and another set of beads. You should now have two beaded strands hanging down from either side of your knot in the middle.
4. Carefully shape each beaded strand into a curve so that they come together at the top like an icicle point (see photo).
Once you are happy with the shape, knot each strand again at the top to secure it in place.
How Do You Make Snowflakes Out of Pony Beads?
If you want to make snowflakes out of pony beads, you will need: 6mm white pony beads, pipe cleaners, scissors, and a ruler. First, cut 3 pipe cleaners in half. Then, fold each pipe cleaner in half and twist it to create the center of the snowflake.
Next, thread 36 beads onto each pipe cleaner (18 on each side of the center). Once all the beads are threaded on, shape the snowflake by bending the arms outwards. Finally, snip off any excess pipe cleaner and enjoy your beautiful creation!
