I had a problem with the extensions, and believe I have figured out how to stiffen them up (after changing threading materials, even wire, and continuing to have a 'flopping' problem). In the video, at 3:30, pass the thread DOWN THRU 3RD bead (not up), then at 3:48, after passing thread through the round, pass it through the next seed bead and pull tight.... I hope this helps those experiencing a problem....

Fine wire is another possibility. <br /><br />Most of us have plenty of beads so just make sure you don't use some of a limited amount and that would do. Otherwise, you will have to go through the tutorial and count out yourself!The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-15082905965422855482013-02-07T10:49:41.265-05:002013-02-07T10:49:41.265-05:00I just finished making the Snowflake, and it is be...I just finished making the Snowflake, and it is beautiful! The video is really easy to follow, and you can pause it anytime you want. The only issue I had with it is that it did not explain what kind of thread to use, and how many of each of the beads. At least I didn't see it. The thread I used is too soft,so the snowflake is not stiff enough. Pearl I would like to know if you have a suggestion to make, since I want the snowflake to retain its shape. Otherwise it's a great find.Thank you.Vickyhttp://www.knotsandsparklez.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-31989195423995570222013-01-22T10:06:19.360-05:002013-01-22T10:06:19.360-05:00Wow I just watched the video for the beaded Snowfl...Wow I just watched the video for the beaded Snowflake, what an awesome idea!!!
