Snowman Panel 3D Lantern Ornament Bead Pattern

Its been a while since we did a spectacular ornament, so we decided to put our thinking caps on and came up with this! If you are looking for an ornament that is fun and easy to bead that will look impressive on your Christmas tree, well this will be the one! Despite its size (15cm long) this ornament is made up of entirely delicas. There is nothing needed to support it, which is quite surprising considering how sturdy it feels. The ornament comprises of 6 panels and each panel is inset in a frame. 3 of the panels contain snowmen in different poses and the remaining 3 panels contain fir trees on a snowy landscape. Added to the frames are a decorative top and bottom in blue and gold. As usual with ThreadABead featured patterns we give full detailed instructions and, in this pattern, there are 50 detailed steps, making this pattern even suitable for beginners to beading. This bead pattern is made using Japanese Miyuki size 11 Delica. A form of Round Peyote and Odd Count Peyote stitch is used but full detailed instructions are given, and no previous knowledge of either stitch is required. Please note the pattern may not work with any other size and type of beads. There are 15 delica colours in total and the finished beadwork is approximately 5.75 cm (w) x 5.75 cm (d) x 15 cm (h) not including loop. 1 x 8mm gold plated fire-polished bead is required along with some dark brown embroidery thread.
