Choose your favorite color of beads for this design! If you are ordering supplies, just check the sizes so that they will fit on the metal frame. If you match the same size/type of bead but change the color, all the beads will still fit. To hang these, simply tie a ribbon through one of the end loops or hang from an ornament hook.
- To learn how to make this type of ornament, please watch the video: How to Make a Beaded Wire Snowflake Ornament featuring Dazzle It Wire Frames. It will teach you the basics and the finishing technique for this style of ornament.

Please refer to the photo for the orientation of the tear drop beads.
