Tutorial by: Lane Landry
Recommended Materials:
- 6lb FireLine beading thread
- #12 long beading needle
- 15/0 seed beads
- #2 bugle beads
- #1 bugle beads (optional)
- Ear wires
- Chain (same color as ear wires)
- Flush cutter
- Chain nose or flat nose pliers
Special Notes: To make two different size snowflakes for the dangle chain earrings, you will make one snowflake using #2 bugles and 15/0 seed beads and another snowflake in a different color using #1 bugles and 15/0 seed beads (exact same process that yields a slightly smaller snowflake). The two finished snowflakes can be attached to two varying lengths of chain and then to an ear wire (as shown below) for more length and movement. Alternately, you can make either size snowflake and attach them directly to your ear wire for a shorter earring. The photos will show the snowflake being secured to a length of chain. If stitching directly to your ear wire for shorter dangles (no chains), follow the same steps for attaching the snowflake to a chain and then finishing off the snowflake.
