Cut two pipe cleaners in half. You only need three halves for one snowflake. Twist the three halves together in the center, and then spread them to form the six arms of the beaded snowflake. Thread your choice of beads on the first arm. Before you thread the last bead on an arm, fold the end of the pipe cleaner down about one inch.

Cut 2 silver pipe cleaners in half Twist three together in the center to make a snowflake shape Then, string plastic pony beads on each side Bend about a 1/2″ of the pipe cleaner end to keep the beads in place Tie a velvet ribbon to one of the folded ends to hang it

To make these snowflakes, grab your pipe cleaners. Then measure and cut 3 pieces about 5 inches long. Then 6 pieces about 3cm long, and 6 pieces 5cm long. Grab the 3 longest pieces of pipe cleaner pieces together like shown below. Twist the 3 pieces together in the middle, twisting tightly 3-4 times.

For my favorite snowflake design, take a pipe cleaner and wrap it around the middle of one of your spokes. Bend it upwards and bend it again to form a triangle. Attach the base to the middle of the next spoke. Continue around the snowflake until you are back where you started.
