Hi Crocheters, I've made some snowflakes for gifts when I visit my sister during the holidays. Six each for a neighbor, a lovely 90 year old and for my sister. Try as hard as I could the pictures do not show that there is silver glitter on them but I'm sure with the twinkling lights on the tree that they will show.

I followed a tip and used equal parts of white glue and water (plus the silver glitter) and after pinning the snowflakes onto the cardboard, I painted each, they dried really stiff and great!!

  Thanks for looking!!

They're beautiful and will be treasured for a very long time! I love snowflakes and was just looking at a few of my patterns thinking about making some more for this year. I like putting them in holiday cards too. They bring a smile when opened.

I too like the white glue +water formula for stiffening. The nice things about it is, it does not yellow, stays stiff and if a project gets soiled, it can be washed and re-stiffened. Plus, it does not attract bugs like sugar water or starch.

Great job!

I love snowflakes, too!  I use the same stiffening (half white glue/half water), but instead of silver glitter, I've been using the iridescent white--it's more subtle, but beautiful!

Oo! Good idea! I never thought of that one! I'll have to give it a try sometime!
