Then, on the one hand, add a couple of beads:
Now we can form the first “petal”. For this we need to pass one of the ends of the working “thread” into the bugle and tighten the loop:
Further, without changing the scheme of actions, we will have to weave the basis for a future snowflake consisting of 7 “petals”:
