Would you believe that I found this snowflake earrings pattern in my "archives" from years ago?

I don't think I've ever published it. Not sure how that happened because they're so cute! 

But, I guess you get to benefit because I'm sharing the full tutorial here today.

To complete these beaded Christmas earrings, you'll need some SuperDuos, size 11 seed beads and a few drop beads.

The beauty of earrings is that you don't need a large quantity of materials so if you've got odds and ends left over from other beading projects, feel free to throw them together to make this one.

You can also use this SuperDuo pattern to create beaded Christmas ornaments. Simply attach some cord instead of earrings hooks and you're good to go.

The tutorial is suitable for all skill levels.
