Use your creativity to arrange beads in any desired pattern to decorate your snowflake.
In the snowflake shown here, a bead was sewn to the center front and back of each small and medium yo-yo. In the center of the large yo-yo a circle of five beads was sewn to the center front and back of the large bead.
