Hi, this is Angela Dawn with About.com coming to you from Beads by Design in Atlanta, Georgia, and today I am going to show you how to make a base circle of a beaded snowflake.

How to Make a Base Circle of a Beaded Snowflake

First, thread your needle, and run it through wax or thread conditioner. Next, string a stop bead leaving an 8 inch tail. 

Add on twelve seed beads. Add more or less depending on how big you want your snowflake. 

Now, string back up through the twelve beads, creating a circle. String back through the first seed bead, and your base circle is completed.
