Beaded Snowman Pattern By Celeste

Welcome to the beaded snowman pattern instructions! This pattern was generously created and donated to all of us by our fellow beader Celeste. If you have any difficulty following this tutorial, please post a comment at the bottom of the page, and I'll do my best to help, or if I am unable, I will inform Celeste of the difficulty.

Step 1

Step 1: The nose is the easiest part! String together a 8mm orange bead, and a 6mm orange bead. Cross back through the 8mm bead, and tie it on the face between the eyes and mouth.

I used 6mm beads for my arms, but if you want larger arms you could use 8mm. I used brown, you can make yours black or any color you want really. The diagram looks scary, i promuise its not as hard as it looks!

1. String 6 beads on a length of fishing line.
2.Skip bead 6, cross through all the other beads until you get back through to the end of 1.
3.Skip over bead ond and cross through beads 2 and 3. Noe your going to add two new beads (7 and 8).
4.Skip bead 8, go through beads 7,3,2,1.

I attached the arms where three 5-circle of beads meet on the middle part of the body, just string them in however you like. You can make him waving, with his arms out, or with his arms down. Just experiment!

Step 7

Step 7: You can do the scarf in any color cordination you like! I chose dark green and light green. The scarf is very easy, it's the same step over and over again. You can make it as long or as short as you want, but i made mine long enough to drape over his arm.

1. String 4 beads onto your thread, crossing at your 4th bead.
2. Add 1 bead to EACH LINE, add one more and this is the one you will cross.
3.Continue for as long as you like!
The tassels are very easy, just string four beads on your line, skip over bead four and cross it back through bead one. Tie off, and repeat for each corner.

Step 8

Step 8: This is a closeup of the scarf so you can see in more detail how to make the fringe. Thats it! Your snowman is complete! Just put his scarf on and put him up somewhere, or give him as a gift. Enjoy!
