Snowflake Pendant
Snowflake Pendant
Stitch a beaded snowflake with CRAW and PRAW! You need only a handful of seed beads plus a needle and thread to stitch these sharp snowflakes - no special beads needed! Each pendant features several units of cubic and prismatic right-angle weave (CRAW and PRAW) stitched side-by-side to make a snowflake design. The finished snowflake measures about two inches (5 cm) in diameter, but you can easily scale it into larger and smaller variations. Wear it to celebrate the winter, or hang it on your tree during the holidays!
This advanced pattern is appropriate for beaders who are already proficient in cubic right-angle weave and who would like the challenge of combining individual CRAW and PRAW units together. This pattern describes how to make four different sizes of Snowflake Pendants.
