Creative Beading

Where can I find free crystal bead patterns for the holidays?

I am looking for bead projects to do with my son. Such as beaded snowflakes, christmas trees, angels, and candy canes. I want to use the faceted beads not the seed beads. I also want to find the patterns for the bead crafts that you can put the lights inside.

I found this site:

http://beadwork.about.com/od/beadedornamentsandcharms/Beaded_Holidays_Beaded_Holiday_Ornaments_and_Jewelry.htm

They have a lot of different patterns (like poinsettas, etc.) and more than just Christmas. To get to the Christmas patterns you have to scroll down past the autumn ones, but they’re there! Hope they help!
