Make these sweet vintage beaded snowflakes with only 3 different beads! They turn out so nice and they give such a sparkle on your Christmas tree. Please click on my following YouTube link to see the full tutorial:

*All
you have to do to find the beads is to go to Amazon and type in the
words "BeadTin Beads" in the search bar. Make sure BeadTin
is one whole word. You can add the type of beads, if you want. (Such
as “BeadTin Sunburst Beads”) I
know there are other bead sources out there. I'm just sharing the
source that I used to purchase my beads.
