White Plated Snowflake / Spider Web Form, 3.75"
☆ Rising Star

Avg Rating: 10 /10
3.75" beadable white plated brass snowflake wire forms by The Beadsmith. Wire is approx. 0.7mm thick. Package contains 8 snowflake forms. These work for making spiderwebs, too! White plate is the "silver" color most often seen on base metal jewelry and components. Add beads to wire forms, then use round-nose pliers to loop ends. Wire can also be woven between the arms. Attach ribbon or an ornament hook to one looped wire end to hang your snowflakes; charms can be added to the other wire loops. Optionally, you can glue the final bead onto each arm of the snowflake (or spiderweb), or crimp and glue on a crimp-end with loop (such as item # 41-151-90-08), or a French wire keeper (item # 33-961). Use beads with holes larger than 0.7mm: most Swarovski beads 6mm and larger, size 8/0 seed beads, and many Czech beads (such as size 6/0 and size 5/0 E beads).
I use the french wire keepers on these with a drip of super glue. Been making these for years to sell and as craft projects at my shop. People LOVE them and each one turns out unique! Highly recommend
Easy to use

These are fun and easy to use. There are so many design possibilities and they are great once finished. I second the recommendation for not bending the wire. That's what I had done when I made snowflakes with these and I chipped a crystal while fighting with the wire to bend it.
finishing method for snowflake forms
By Laurel - Rings & Things Staff on 12/30/2010
A customer called and said she loved using french wire keepers (item #33-961) on the ends of the snowflake instead of bending loops. The wire can be tough to bend, and she said this way she can do one loop at the top and she's finished! She wanted to pass this along as a simple and inexpensive way to make lovely window decorations.
