I was playing around with different beads that could be a hat for my snowman and decided upon this bead cap. I added a little pom pom to the top and it looks like a hat I would use at home on my snowman:)

↓ Step-by-step
↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

  • 2 rhinestone spacers
  • 8mm and 6mm opaque white beach glass rounds
  • head pins
  • ear wire or lever backs
  • 8/0 seed beads
  • silver bead caps 7x3mm
  • brass head pins

Recommended tool: wire cutters & round nose pliers

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Slide the beads onto the silver head pin in the order shown. Create a loop at the top and wrap the wire around twice. Trim any excess wire. Follow the tip below if you need help with this step.

See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm

Step 2

For the arms: Cut the flat end (head) off two head pins. Place the wire just under the first white bead, pull around the bead. Criss-cross the wire ends over each other and pull tight. Take a pair of pliers to curl up the ends.
