Learn how to create a versatile frost ornament that doubles as a pendant or festive decoration. Experiment with bead combinations for unique designs. Discover how to use 6mm pearls, super Duos, seed beads (8/0 and 15/0), and Dragon Thread for this customizable project. Detailed guidance on forming the snowflake pattern, adding points with right-angle weave (RAW), and finishing with wire guards for hanging. Customize your ornament by changing bead colors, adding crystals, or adjusting sizes for earrings or tree decorations.
Prepare Materials:
6mm pearls (6 pieces). Super Duos (12 pieces). 8/0 and 15/0 seed beads. 2mm or 3mm crystals for added sparkle. Dragon Thread (size 8) and a size 10 needle. Wire guard for hanging.
Form the Base Loop:
String six 6mm pearls onto the thread. Tie a knot to form a circular base. Add one 8/0 seed bead between each pearl to create spacing.
Add First Snowflake Arm:
Use right-angle weave (RAW) to add a super Duo, followed by 8/0 seed beads and additional super Duos. Repeat the pattern to form the first arm of the snowflake.
Complete All Arms:
Repeat the RAW technique for each of the six sections, forming symmetrical points around the snowflake.
Add Details with Crystals or Seed Beads:
Insert 15/0 seed beads or crystals into the design for extra decoration. Work through the second hole of the super Duos to add additional embellishments.
Attach the Wire Guard:
Add a wire guard at the top of the ornament. Reinforce the thread by looping through beads multiple times for durability.
Finish the Ornament:
Tie off the threads securely and trim the excess. Optionally, add a custom wire hook or hanger for display.
Customize Your Design:
Experiment with different bead sizes, colors, or use smaller beads to create matching earrings.

I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
Enjoy looking at your selections and finding something unusual.
