TUTORIAL:

I live in a tropical climate country but that doesn't stops me from dreaming a white Christmas! XD

Indeed..... Christmas comes early for me.... I'm in a Christmas mood already! LOL.....

With only limited materials, learn how to make this beaded snowflake charm using R.A.W. You can then use the charm for many things. String on a chain and it is a pendant, add a mobile string and it becomes a mobile charm or if you like a shorter chain with lobster clasp, a bag charm! So versatile, so many possibilities!

You do not necessarily need to use the beads I used here. They are easily substitutable with other shapes and sizes of beads and you'll just be surprised at the outcome. Just make sure the ratio of beads is similar. For eg. the beads used here is 3mm and 4mm. If you want to make smaller ones for earrings, you may go down in size, say 1mm and 2mm.

Ouh, and just in time for a handmade Christmas gift too! ;)
