Mon Flocon Beaded Snowflake Ornament Kit

Mon Flocon means "my snowflake" in French, and that's exactly what you'll make: a six-pointed beaded snowflake, suspended inside a slim metal hoop, that catches the light from every angle on the tree.

Each kit includes every bead you need to complete one ornament, plus the metal hoop and the full-color printed, step-by-step instructions. The design is built from Les Perles par Puca® Czech glass shapes: Volos® three-hole leaves and Arcos® crescents form the snowflake's arms, Samos® ovals and 3 mm fire-polished rounds mark each point, and 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads tie it all together as the finished flake is stitched into its 60 mm hoop during beading. Just add Fireline (or your favorite beading thread), a needle, and a ribbon or cord for hanging and you're ready to bead.

Mon Flocon is a relaxing project for all skill levels. If you're brand new to beadwork, the illustrated instructions walk you through each step. If you've been stitching for years, you'll enjoy how quickly the design comes together, and how good a whole set of them looks on the tree.

Hang one on a branch, tie one onto a gift, or make the full set of nine for a tree that's all your own.
