Every year I crochet a bunch of snowflake ornaments and send them to friends and family. This year I experimented with rings, which I think turned out great!

    Looking at the ring has given me a thought, if you are confident with your snowflakes…I am not 🤣. Anyways thought was the snowflake wires used to make jewelled snowflakes. I wonder if the ends could be turned to hold a bead and then the crochet up and between.

    Thanks for the inspiration DerEntenjager. I enjoy seeing others Christmas creations.

      I don’t know enough about beading! But I really like the idea of adding beads to these and I bet it wouldn’t be too hard. Maybe that’s what I’ll try next year!

        I was thinking more as these as an inner frame. You would likely need at least a bead at the end to anchor to.

        It would take some thinking for the patten though.

        In terms of how they are usually used there are lots of inspiring out there and they turn out pretty. I usually collect old necklaces/bracelets through the year to use up. Just remember you always need 6 of each bead.
