Scissors
42 large snowflake beads
177 small snowflake beads
7 leaf beads with holes through their bases
1 5 inch metal hoop
6 brass jingle bells (3/4 inch)
1 slightly larger brass bell (inch)
Directions:
1. Cut 2 yards of leather cord six times. Take your first piece, and thread a bead, a leaf, then jingle bell to the bottom of by running the cord through the hole and tying in a slip-knot underneath the beads so the leaf bead covers the knot. Repeat five times, then using the big bell,use your seventh piece of cord.
2. Make a knot an inch above your bell. Thread a small, bigger, then another small bead on the cord, make another knot another inch above those beads. Continue five more times.
