❄️ How To Make Pipe Cleaner Snowflakes ❄️

Step 1. Make the pipe cleaner snowflake

Step 2. Time to add the beads

I used 6 beads on each snowflake arm in varying shapes of blue, white, purple and pink. I love the way they look with both solid and translucent pony beads. Once all the beads are added, slide a snowflake bead at the end of each pipe cleaner.

Take the end of the pipe cleaner and fold it over and poke it back through the snowflake bead to secure the ends. This will prevent the beads from falling off the pipe cleaner.
