    Quick Project Steps

    PotomacBeads Tutorial is excited to bring on the winter season with these Perfect Snowflake Earrings. The Potomac Crystal chaton in the center gives off an icy sparkle, making them the perfect accessory for any winter outfit.
    Start by picking up six IrisDuos on the thread, leaving enough of a tail to tie into a knot later. Make sure the IrisDuos are facing the same direction. Bring the needle through the first Irisduo to form the snowflake shape. Thread through all the beads again to tighten them and tie a knot.
    Thread through the top of the IrisDuo and add a PieDuo with two seed beads on top of it. Add PieDuos in the spaces between the IrisDuos. Pick up two seed beads, a WibeDuo and two more seed beads and thread between the sets of existing seed beads. Make sure the WibeDuos are facing the same way as the IrisDuos.
    Watch Anna in the Perfect Snowflake earrings tutorials to see how to bead the front of the project.
    These Perfect Snowflake Earrings from PotomacBeads would make an excellent gift this holiday season for someone who loves snowflakes, or anyone who appreciates handmade jewelry. They are beautiful and delicate, and they would be a perfect addition to any outfit.
