Instructions:
Cut three 6.5" lengths of 22 gauge (thick wire). Take two pieces, make ends even, make two twists in center of two pieces form an "X" squeezing the center twists together.
2. Lay your "X" horizontally then place the third piece vertically on top of "X". Find center and wrap around two times.
3. Crimp center tightly to secure. Choose one "spoke" to start with.
4. Place one small clear bead on spoke, one small blue star, one small clear star, one medium blue bead and two small clear beads. Repeat #4 on all remaining spokes.
5. To finish ends of spokes, twist ends of wire to look like a coil (helpful hints, use the end of small paint brush and twist the wire tightly around it).
6. For center, cut a 5" length of thin wire. Place a large blue flower bead on wire, stopping in center. Add silver bead to wire on top of blue flower bead. Take wire closest to silver bead and put that wire back through the large blue flower bead. There should be two wires out the back of flower bead.
7. Place in center of snowflake with one wire on both sides of blue flower.
8. Repeat step #6 (for center) pull down close to snowflake.
9. To secure end of wire, twist ends together (cut off excess) tuck in around center.
10. To finish: Use a 4.5" piece of thick wire to form a hook. Loop one end around the end of one of the spokes and twist around itself to secure. Form a hook and coil the end.
