Quick Project Steps

Start with Preparing the Thread: Cut a 20-inch piece of beading thread, attaching a needle to each end.
Create the Snowman's Base: Begin by adding five 4mm beads, followed by progressively decreasing the number of beads to form the base of the snowman using a specific bead weaving technique.
Build the Snowman's Body: Repeat the process with the 3mm beads to create the top section of the snowman, ensuring to follow the pattern for proper size variation.
Add the Decorative Elements: Use the Czech Rings for the scarf and the Miyuki Cube for the hat, threading them onto the wire.
Assemble the Snowman: Using 20 gauge wire, assemble the beaded sections, adding the decorative elements between the body sections.
Finishing Touches: Create a loop with the wire for hanging as earrings or a pendant, trimming excess wire.
