Snowflake made of beads

Beautiful and delicate snowflakes are an excellent decoration for a New Year's costume or Christmas tree. Making them is not only simple, but also interesting.

To work you will need:
- beads;
- thin fishing line or wire;
- scissors.

It is worth noting that the younger the child, the larger the beads (or even beads) should be used. The choice between fishing line or wire depends solely on what the snowflake is being woven for. If you use it to decorate a costume, it is better to use fishing line. When creating a decoration for a New Year tree, you should use wire as a basis, which will perfectly retain the shape of the snowflake when suspended.
So let's get to work. We will do the weaving in rows, there will be five in total. First let's tie a knot.
1 row. We string 12 beads onto a fishing line and close them in a circle, as shown in the photo.



2nd row. Now we string 3 beads each and insert them through one bead of the previous row to make six triangles.



At the end, we bring the fishing line out through the first and second beads of the second row.
3rd row.We collect 5 beads on the fishing line and insert them into each vertex of the triangle of the previous row. You will get a flower.



At the end, we bring the fishing line out through the first and second beads of the third row.
4 row. To weave this row, we will again collect 3 beads and insert them one by one: either through one or through three beads of the previous row.



At the end, we bring the fishing line through the first bead of the fourth row.
5 row. This is the last row, for weaving it you need to collect 5 beads and insert the fishing line into the third bead of the fourth row, the fourth and fifth bead of the third row, the top of the triangle of the second row, the sixth and seventh bead of the third row, the seventh bead of the fourth row. It's not difficult, see photo.



Next, you need to secure the fishing line, and the snowflake is ready!
